What you'll see
A large baroque former monastery by the river, with the town museum in its state rooms: a collection of old lutes and violins, a library hall, and a painted Dance of Death in a side chapel.
A brief history
It grew from the cell of a monk, Magnus, who brought Christianity here in the 8th century. Füssen later became a centre of lute and violin making in Europe.
