Sensational find on Fraueninsel: ancient cult site discovered by archaeologists. Researchers actually wanted to investigate the exact location of a church that was demolished in 1803 as part of secularization.
However, the radar data also showed another, much older structure underneath. It is unclear whether the 19 meter diameter building on the highest point of the island could be the grave of the Blessed Irmengard. She worked as abbess of theFrauenwörth convent in the 9th century.
