Description
Ottobeuren is a Benedictine abbey, located in Ottobeuren, near Memmingen in the Bavarian Allgäu, Germany. The 1710-1775 Riepp organ inside the abbey is a delight to look at and listen to. One of the most well-known of the Bavarian organs, this organ is divided on either side of the chancel and blends perfectly with the Carolingian architecture that surrounds it. It was the main instrument for 200 years, until 1957 when a third organ was added by G. F. Steinmeyer & Co, renovated and augmented in 2002 by Johannes Klais, making 100 stops available on five manuals.
