Ettal Abbey
Ettal Abbey is a Benedictine monastery in the village of Ettal close to
Oberammergau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria, Germany.
Ettal Abbey was founded on 28 April 1330, Saint Vitalis of Milan's day, by
Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian in the Graswang valley, in fulfilment of an oath on
his return from Italy, on a site of strategic importance on the primary trade
route between Italy and Augsburg. The foundation legend is that Ludwig's horse
genuflected three times on the site of the original church building, where a
statuette of the Virgin Mary ("Frau Stifterin" or the "Ettal Madonna") of the
Pisano School now stands, a gift from Ludwig to his new foundation. This statue
soon became an object of pilgrimage. The church is dedicated to the Assumption
of the Blessed Virgin.
