  • In 1632 one of the priests and the organist of monastery Ettal were killed by swedish troops during a war .

    A small painting on top of a column in the innercourt of the monastery reminds of him.

    You will pass by it, when walking from the car-parking to the church.

  • Lüftl / Lueftl - malerei is a certain kind of sgraffitio - painting on the fassades in Bavaria.

    There are many great examples of it mainly in the nearby Oberammergau, but also this nice one on the "Edeka-shop" , opposite the large parking.

     Kloster Ettal is a real jewel. I've had the chance to visit it last week and I was so amazed about it's beauty. I'd love to go back and spend more time there. Congratulations for this wonderful page.

     Kloster Ettal is another great reason to tarry in this area of Upper Bavaria. I like the motto for the Ettaler Bier - probably after a couple of beers and the liqours, Heaven is really pretty close;-]

     I only rushed through enroute to Switzerland, but was also fascinated by the Baroque splendor. Brilliant pictures and very informative text, thanks!
