The gardens of St. Michael’s, a former Benedictine monastery, invite visitors to linger and amble about or enjoy a cup of coffee in the café.
A lovely walk is the “Benedictine path” traversing the former baroque gardens. One of the projects of Bamberg’s 2012 Bavarian gardening show is the new vineyard within the old monastery gardens. Up until the 18th century, Bamberg was a wine-growing area as well as a beer producing town, and this vineyard now re-establishes this tradition.
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.
