Charterhouse Winter©
Renovation works on the charterhouse in Gaming started in 1984. Today, the former monastery is a centre of cultural life with an ambience that is both historical and modern complete with hotel, restaurant and private brewery.
Inaugurated in 1342, the Gaming Charterhouse is the largest charterhouse in the whole of Central Europe and one of the richest monasteries in the country. Today, the renovated premises accommodate a four-star hotel, an event venue, a restaurant and an in-house brewery as well as several university institutes. The atmospheric Easter and Christmas markets are annual highlights.
Guided tours
Guided tours (in German) of the Gaming Charterhouse take place MON-FRI & SUN at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. between the beginning of June and the end of September.

"Gaminger Kartausen Bräu" (Charterhouse Brew)
The Kartausenbräu is brewed in the historian vaults of the charterhaouse since 2008 and can be tasted in the restaurant. It is also a nice present for family & friends and can be bought in the souvenirshop and several stores in the sourrounding communities.
