Klosterschenke Weltenburg
About
Klosterschenke Weltenburg is a treasured historic inn perched on the Danube’s banks in Kelheim, Bavaria. The building, once a 19th‑century monastery, was transformed into a brewery in 1826 and has continued to brew the renowned "Barock Dunkel" beer in its iconic baroque cellar.

The inn’s interior is a charming blend of baroque architecture and rustic farmhouse charm, while the expansive beer garden provides shade under centuries‑old oak trees and a lively atmosphere for families and friends alike. Beyond the culinary delights, guests can explore the old brewery, the gift shop, and enjoy sweeping views of the Danube that mingle historic ambience with natural beauty.
