A Baroque church with a magnificent garden – from the outside, Waldsassen Abbey looks like a typical convent. Look behind the facade, however, and you will discover a modern, cosmopolitan abbey. Since Abbess M. Laetitia Fech has been in charge, the abbey has been attracting lots of visitors on a daily basis. With creative ideas and plenty of courage, she has breathed new life into the abbey – thus preserving a long tradition.
