At the top of the mountain, directly opposite the pilgrimage church of Andechs Monastery, the historic pharmacy house of Andechs Monastery is being brought back to life after more than 200 years. It is located in the heart of the monastery complex on Bavaria's Holy Mountain.
In the original rooms, an authentic reconstruction of a pharmacy at the end of the 18th century has been brought back to life, with detailed decorations. Historical instruments, countless medicines, ingredients and fragrant herbs create a unique room atmosphere, which is further enhanced by the original richly decorated doors and the colourful baroque ceiling frescoes.
A tour through the ground floor of the pharmacy house allows visitors to immerse themselves in the history of early modern pharmacy and the history of medicine in Andechs Monastery at four experience stations using various media. Upon entering the pharmacy house, guests find themselves in the first room, where both the reception and the conclusion of the tour with a VR experience take place. Here, guests receive a brief overview of the experience from the time travel guide and access to an audio guide. The audio guide runs individually on guests' mobile devices, guiding them through the stations and enabling them to take an independent tour of the pharmacy's experience rooms. The main role on the audio guide's soundtrack is played by the narrator Heinrich Breitenacher - the last pharmacist monk on the Holy Mountain more than 200 years ago.
