Twelve centuries of monastery, building and art history

In the monastery Müstair Benedictine everyday life, cultural care, art and research meet.

The church houses the largest, best-preserved early medieval fresco cycle. In the monastery museum, over 1200 years of history and monastic everyday life are shown.

Guided tours of the church and museum are offered daily for groups of 6 or more. Other thematic tours and events on advertised dates are available on the website.
