The Benedictine monastery of Marienberg in Burgusio
Description
The huge white monument above Burgeis, visible from afar and dominating the entire Malser Heide, was the most important educational center in the Venosta Valley (Vinschgau) for centuries. Once upon a time, many monks provided excellent education for gifted children and young people from the Venosta Valley (Vinschgau). Today, the church and the modern museum are much-visited sites of the monastery complex. For its extremely precious Romanesque frescoes, the crypt, the heart of the monastery, is also a destination for many art lovers.
