The village is dominated by the huge monastery of St Marienstern.
It was founded as a Cistercian monastery in 1248. The current structures mainly date from the 17th and 18th century.
The complex contains a Klosterstube (monastery restaurant, currently closed), a bakery, and a small botanical/herb garden to the south-east open at a small charge.
The small river Klosterwasser runs through the monastery and would have served its water and brewing needs.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
