Mallersdorf

Mallersdorf lies in the Bavarian countryside between Regensburg and Landshut. Its Benedictine monastery was founded by the counts Heinrich and Ernst in 1107, and its Latin school and extensive library earned it a reputation as a seat of learning. The monks' school continued until secularisation in 1803. The monastery was then converted to agricultural use with a brewery, while its library and valuable religious objects were taken to Munich.
