A Place that Carries Sound

The Riddagshausen Monastery Church is one of the oldest Gothic buildings in Germany and uniquely shapes the space for each organ concert with its historic architecture. Those who take a seat here experience not only music but a concert experience between stone, reverberation, and concentrated audience atmosphere.
