Schondorf - St. Jakobus

16 Mar 2010 125
See the apse of "St. Jakobus" to the right - and a bavarian pub and beer garden to the left. This combination may have started, when the church was built. So here the pilgrims could have dinner, before the went up the stairs into the dormitory - centuries ago. Actually the floor in the church still exists, but is not used as a dorm any longer. The symbiosis of pub and church is still very strong in Bavaria. The strongest it is in nearby Andechs. But that is another story.
