Tegernsee

Built around the Benedictine monastery traditionally founded in 746, Tegernsee grew into a lakeside town on Lake Tegernsee in Bavaria’s Alpine foothills. The former abbey complex, now Schloss Tegernsee, remains its principal historic landmark, while the Church of St Quirinus anchors the old centre near the water. The lake sets the rhythm of local life through waterfront promenades, passenger boats and routes along the shore; wooded slopes rise directly behind the town’s eastern side. Tegernsee is also associated with Bavarian brewing, continuing a tradition linked to the former monastery.
