The
Monastery Marienberg.
Founded in 1149/50 from Ulrich von Tarasp. The first
monks came from the German monastery Ottobeuren. They
made Marienberg to the religious and German speaking
centre in the raetoromanic neighbourhood. The earls
of Matsch sacked the monastery and murdered the abbot.
The pestilence, famer-wars and religious differences
raged. German monks helped the monastery to a new
revival, the monastery was enlarged and the church
received the baroque ornament. We can discover the
romanic foundation time in the main portal and in
the frescs of the crypt. These are artistic monuments
of uropean interest.
