Weihenstephan is the oldest brewery in the world. In year 725 the Benediktiner Monestary was founded on the hilltop. The monks invented the brewing of beer and in 1040 the Klosterbrauerei Weihenstephan was officially opened. During the next 1000 years the monastery went throught difficult times. Weihenstephan was ran over and destroyed many times by the Swedes, French and Austrians. Besides that, the monestary brurnt down completely four times.
