Look from the ladies’ choir
See how the choir relates to the altar, nave and chapter area. Its position in the building helps you understand the organisation of the former stift in spatial terms.
Treasures in their church context
With relics and liturgical objects, ask what they were used for and when they were on view. Material value and religious function do not tell the same story.
Down into the crypt
The crypt with its mummy draws attention, but also look at the construction, access and labels. Check which identification and dating are actually substantiated.
Before you go
From 1 April to 30 October open Tuesday to Sunday 10.30–16.30. The winter schedule is more limited; for a winter visit, check the current opening hours and exceptions.
