An island with a Benedictine convent, less interesting than the neighbouring Herreninsel.
This "women's island" is home to Frauenwörth Abbey, a convent founded by Duke Tassil in the 8th century. The interior of the convent - now home to Benedictine nuns - is not open to the public. Opposite the church is the Torhalle, a building dating from the Carolingian era, which is also evident in its Romanesque structure. Free admission from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (May to October). This Fraueninsel is less spectacular than the Herreninsel next door, which not only has an abbey, but also a castle!

très beau, très sympathique
Île sympathique et paisible malgré la présence envahissante des marchands du temple ( glaces, chapeaux et magnets chinois). Ne pas manquer l'église vouée à sainte Irmingard et son riche et insolite cimetière attenant. Sanctuaire très agréable et reposant , avec de belles dimensions, un pavement d'époque remarquable et quelques belles statues anciennes ou sulpiciennes. Ne pas manquer et surtout , caché dans la pénombre au fond de l'église, le mur décoré d'une centaine d'ex-voto souvent émouvants.
The best at Prien Am Chiemsee and around
