The first written information on the monastery church of St. Adalbert dates back to 1357 when it was built in Gothic style with a double nave leading to a polygonal chancel, two towers- one with a clock and the smaller tower with a belfry on the north side of the chancel. The church was destroyed by fire and master builder Martin Allia rebuilt it in Baroque style in 1684 - 1694. The interior is the work of renowned Baroque artists- stuccos by Soldati, frescos by J.J. Steinfels and of sculptors M. Jaeckel and K.Hiernle. The altar paintings in its six lateral chapels made by V.V. Reiner.
