Neustift, today a tranquil northern district of the deeply traditional episcopal city of Freising in Upper Bavaria, delights visitors with its deeply rooted history. Originally developed as an independent community surrounding the significant Premonstratensian Neustift Monastery, the area still retains a peaceful, village-like atmosphere today. The absolute highlight for any visitor is the former monastery church of St. Peter and Paul, whose magnificent Rococo interiors and masterful ceiling frescoes rank among the most beautiful artworks in the region. The expansive former monastery buildings now house the district administration, yet their historic facades continue to radiate an impressive monastic grandeur. In the cozy center, guests can experience authentic Bavarian tavern culture at traditional inns like the historic "Alte Post," where excellent local beer is served. Because Neustift is located just a short walk from the bustling heart of Freising and the world-famous Cathedral Hill (Domberg), it gives a well-suited, quiet retreat after a busy day of urban exploration.
