The world's oldest social settlement, this estate houses 200 impoverished Catholic tenants.

This is a lovely place to visit for everyone. It's the oldest social housing development in the world dating back to the 16th Century and was the concept of Jakob Fugger. It is still inhabited today and the people lucky enough to be allowed to live there pay 88 cents in rent and must be Catholics and willing to pray for the Fugger family. You can go into a ground floor apartment as it looks today as well as another one which looks like it did 200yrs ago. There is also a museum with lots of information about the Fugger family and a restaurant/cafe.

This is one of the best manicured botanical gardens I have ever seen. When the summer flowers are in bloom, the Angelica, bleeding hearts, lupine, and roses are fabulous. If you visit in summer, make sure you leave time to just sit in this garden.
