The abbey consists of the Collegiate Church (pictured) and the monastery. The first monastery on this site came about in 878AD. The legend is that a fight broke out between two giants, the local Tyrsus and a Germanic immigrant, Haymon. Haymon caused the death of Tyrsus and as atonement he is said to have built the monastery in Wilten. A statue at the front of the monastery reflects the legend, showing Haymon holding the tongue of a dragon he has slain. The baroque church in the picture was built in 1665.

Across the street from Wilten Basilica is the parish church for the local community. It's attractive on the exterior - unfortuately it was closed when I was there. I liked this carved figure which adorns the facade.

Next to the famous Wilten Basilica you will find the Stiftskirche Wilten......
The inside here is also very imressive... It´s very dark inside compared to the Basilica next door.....I liked it more than the Basilica... Your eyes don´t get mad in here :)

Too bad it was so dark - and I never did figure out how to work the flash so that it would provide some illumination on cloudy days. (I guess I should read the manual.)

Next to Wilten Basilica there's this baroque church which is even more beautiful I think! Outside there is two lovely statues of the giants Haymon and Thyrsus. The inside is just amazing!
