- Description
- On the right, by the presbytery, the 18th-century stucco altar of the Rosary from the Hennevogel workshop funded by Abbot Simon III. The painting in the altarpiece was painted by Antoni Zimmermann. It depicts the Virgin Mary handing a rosary to St Dominic. The painting in the finial shows St Dominic in gloria, by Georg Neunhertz. Between the paintings is a medallion with a ship on a rough sea and the inscription: Save those in danger. Next to the painting are statues of St Ildefonso Archbishop of Toledo, left, and St Patrick Bishop and Patron Saint of Ireland. Both venerate the Virgin Mary.
