DIGA Garden Fair Aldersbach

Garden Fair in the Baroque Garden

The DIGA Garden Fair Aldersbach uses an extraordinary setting: the baroque monastery garden of the former Cistercian abbey of Aldersbach in the Lower Bavarian district of Passau. The combination of the historic site and the modern garden fair attracts around 7,000 visitors to Lower Bavaria every year.

• Plants: Orchids, hydrangeas, water plants, Mediterranean plants, perennials, shrubs
• Garden furniture and accessories: Lounge furniture, sculptures, fountains, hammocks, gazebos
• Decorations: Ceramics, glass, wrought iron, wooden figures
• Culinary delights: regional specialties, wines, jams, herbs
• Lifestyle and living: current trends for home and garden

Aldersbach Monastery Ensemble

Aldersbach Monastery was founded in the 12th century as a Cistercian abbey; the current baroque building dates from the 18th century. The Asam Church inside is considered one of the most important works of the Asam brothers in Bavaria. The brewery of the von Aretin family produces the well-known Aldersbacher beer on the monastery grounds. The monastery garden is also part of the complex and forms the ideal setting for the garden fair.

Lower Bavaria and the Passau District

Aldersbach is located in the Passau district in the administrative region of Lower Bavaria, about 30 km northwest of Passau. The municipality is easily accessible by car and coach – a plus point for a day event like the DIGA.
