St. Walburgis Church at Seeoner Klostersee

Highlight • Religious Site

A very pretty little church with simple decor. The unique location on the lake and the directly adjacent, former rectory complete the picture of this remarkable place.

The inconspicuous Church of St. Walpurgis stands at the entrance to the former Seeon Monastery. It is surrounded by a small cemetery, which is the burial site of, among others, the Russian noble Leuchtenberg family.
