Weingarten is located on the Upper Swabian Baroque Route, lined with unique nature and idyllic towns and villages. Some of the best museums in the region are close by. Famous Lake Constance is also just 30 km away.

Lake Constance is the linchpin between Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The large water reservoir and foehn weather conditions from the nearby mountains create the famous Lake Constance climate: mild temperatures, exotic nature and wonderful walks along the waterfront.

The Basilica in Weingarten was consecrated in 1724 and is one of the largest Baroque churches north of the Alps. Wonderful wall and ceiling paintings as well as magnificent stucco decorations enchant visitors from all over the world. Their beauty has also earned the collegiate church the name “Swabian St. Peter”.
