This is one of the most significant monasteries in Tyrol, and the majority of it is open to the public: the Baroque collegiate church with famous ceiling frescoes by Matthäus Günther, the medieval cloister with frescoes from the 14th and 15th cen. and the tomb of the troubadour Oswald von Wolkenstein, the chapel of St. Vigil, the library with its collection of precious manuscripts, and the art gallery with its impressive collection of Gothic panel paintings (by Friedrich Pacher, Marx Reichlich, and Andreas Haller).
