Kloster Andechs is a Benedictine monastery located in the town of Andechs, Bavaria, Germany. The monastery is situated on a hill known as the 'Heiliger Berg Bayerns' (Holy Mountain of Bavaria) and is one of the oldest and most famous pilgrimage sites in Bavaria. The monastery was founded in 1455 and features a beautiful Rokoko-style church, which was built between 1423 and 1427. The church houses a significant collection of relics, including the 'Heiligen Drei Hostien' (Holy Three Hosts).
