Aldersbach Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Around 1120, an Augustinian canons' monastery was founded in Aldersbach; just 26 years later, Cistercians from the Ebrach monastery took it over and consecrated the monastery to Saint Mary, Mother of God. In 1803 it was nationalized.

Today's complex includes the church with the parish area, a brewery with a restaurant and an educational facility with seminar rooms. You can spend the night in the former monks' cells. Events such as concerts take place regularly in the Aldersbach Monastery.

Vils meadows in the Vils Valley

Highlight • River

The Vils arises from the confluence of the Großer and Kleiner Vils. The two source rivers have their source in Upper Bavaria in the district of Erding and unite 700 meters south of Gerzen, in the municipality of Schalkham, near the district of Wörthmühle, where the last mill of the same name on the Große Vils is located.

The Vils is 68.62 kilometers long. The valley of the Vils is characterized by agriculture, and there are also several hydroelectric power stations on the river. At Frontenhausen it flows in a nature reserve through the Vilstalsee, which is also used for local recreation. A few kilometers later, it splits into the new Vils Canal and the Altvils, which unite and divide again several times as it progresses. Its largest tributary is the Kollbach, which flows into Kröhstorf. At Vilshofen, the river finally flows into the Danube at river kilometer 2248.7.

St. Peter Church, Aldersbach

Highlight • Religious Site

The first historical mention of a settlement with the name Aldarespah comes from the middle of the 8th century in the traditional codex of the Mondsee Monastery. The alleged first mention of a church in Aldersbach from this period is based on a misunderstood note from the early 14th century, which has been handed down in the oldest account book of the Aldersbach monastery. In 1120 the first monastery in Aldersbach (St. Peter) was founded by Augustinian canons. The name Alderbach was already in use around 1140, a Latinized form can be found in written documents from the early 16th century as Adalogeriopagus. The name is derived from the personal name Althar or Aldar and the Old High German pah or pach for a brook.

Aldersbach belonged to the Landshut Rent Office and the Vilshofen Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria. The Aldersbach Abbey owned an open Hofmark here, which was secularized in 1803. In 1806 the churches in Weng and on the Bernhardsberg were sold and demolished. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, the municipality of Aldersbach came into being with the municipal edict of 1818.
