🎧 Listen to Introduction
The island of Reichenau on Lake Constance preserves the remains of a Benedictine monastery founded in 724, which had a huge influence on the local spiritual, intellectual and artistic life. The churches of St. Mary and Markus, St. Peter and St. Paul and St. George were mainly built between the 9th and 11th centuries and offer a panoramic view of monastic architecture in the early Middle Ages in Central Europe. The frescoes in these churches bear witness to the impressive artistic activity of the time.
