Going from the west gate towards the church entrance, we have passed a stone column.
The so-called Swedish Column is a reminder of the Swedish invasion that took place in 1632 during the Thirty Years' War.
It is said that at that moment in time one of the brothers was persecuted and killed for his beliefs by the enemy soldiers.

In 1632 one of the priests and the organist of monastery Ettal were killed by swedish troops during a war .
A small painting on top of a column in the innercourt of the monastery reminds of him.
You will pass by it, when walking from the car-parking to the church.

There are many great examples of it mainly in the nearby Oberammergau, but also this nice one on the "Edeka-shop" , opposite the large parking.
Click on the pic in order to see the great painting of Ettal-monastery !
