The [[island]] of '''Reichenau''' on [[Lake Constance]] preserves the traces of the [[Benedictine]] [[monastery]], founded in 724, which exercised remarkable [[spiritual]], intellectual and artistic influence. The [[church]]es of St Mary and Marcus, [[St Peter]] and [[St Paul]], and St George, mainly built between the 9th and 11th centuries, provide a panorama of early medieval monastic [[architecture]] in [[central Europe]]. Their wall paintings bear witness to impressive artistic activity.<ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/974</ref>
