Kloster Ettal

Kloster Ettal was one of the biggest highlights of our weekend this past weekend. Kloster Ettal is a monastery that dates back to the 1300's. The pictures speak for themself. The Bascillia was AMAZING!!! This truly was an amazing piece of work. This monastery is not only known for the Bascillia but for their beer as well. The beer that the monks brew here is known as some of the best beer in Germany.

Here are a few pictures of the outside.





The ceiling is the idea of heaven painted in the dome giving the effect of having no ceiling and is supposed to come about.
