History+

The origins of Kloster Gars date back to approximately 770. It was dissolved in 1803 during the secularization. The monastery is dedicated to Saints Mary and Radegundis. After a period of dissolution, it was re-established in 1858 by the Redemptorists and has since been a monastery of this order. From 1907 to 1973, it housed a Philosophical-Theological College for the education of Redemptorists from the Munich monastic province. The early Baroque monastery church, built under the direction of Christoph Zuccalli, is considered an early example of Baroque architecture in Germany.
