A small garden within the walls of the former Benedictine Monastery of St. Michael’s shows a total of 49 plants mentioned in the bible. Each plant bears an annotation on the biblical context, the symbolism behind the plant and its medicinal effects.
One patch shows selected plants also depicted on the wonderful painted vaulted ceiling of the church itself with its 578 plants and flowers.
Unfortunately, the church is still closed at the moment. But you can look forward to spring 2026! Because that's when the church will finally reopen after 14 years of extensive renovation work. We'll keep you up to date when the countdown to the reopening begins! In the meantime, you can follow the construction diary.
