Es una iglesia un poco escondida y lo más bonito, que es su puerta, estaba en rehabilitación cubierta con andamios no

A beautiful Monastery under restoration.

Um 1070 kamen irische Mönche nach Regensburg und stifteten eine der bedeutendsten romanischen Kirchen Deutschlands. Das Schottenportal wimmelt von geheimnisvollen Figuren: es handelt sich um eine Darstellung des Himmels und der Hölle. Der Innenraum fasziniert durch die Schlichtheit seiner Architektur, die Harmonie der Säulen, die kunstvollen Verzierungen der Kapitelle.
