Historic Churches & Monasteries

The shores of Lake Constance host a dense concentration of ecclesiastical heritage spanning over a millennium. This collection features the UNESCO-listed monastic island of Reichenau, home to rare Romanesque frescoes, and the opulent Rococo 'Basilika Birnau' overlooking the water. From the massive Gothic spire of Konstanz Minster to the Cistercian grandeur of Salem Abbey and the medieval frescoes of Lindau’s Peterskirche, these sites represent the evolution of sacred architecture and monastic power in the Bodensee region.
