The complex includes a baroque abbey church begun in 1680, noted for its extensive fresco program by Johann Michael Rottmayr. Throughout its history, the monastery has been a center for learning and culture; it maintained a renowned boarding school from the 9th century until 1969 and continues to function as an active Benedictine community. The current structure reflects numerous renovations and expansions over centuries, showcasing various architectural styles while retaining its core medieval foundations.
