Experience the Middle Ages, write and marvel at Kloster Seeon

In the Medieval Writing Workshop “Dragon's Blood & Goose Quill,” children and young people dive into a fascinating world of quills, ink, and book painting. Kloster Seeon creates a true family experience with fun learning, creativity, and a special view of the life of monks in the Middle Ages.

Write like in the old days - with quill and imagination

The participants create initials and illustrations and learn how artistic written works emerged from simple materials. The workshop combines child-friendly practice with historical education and makes history tangible. Thus, curiosity quickly turns into pride in their own little artwork.

Pedagogically valuable and age-appropriate

The writing workshop is aimed at children and adolescents between 6 and 16 years old. The workshop is led by freelance calligrapher Gisela zur Strassen, who has worked for many years at the cultural and educational center Kloster Seeon, introducing children and young people to the world of calligraphy. The workshop creates a calm, focused learning atmosphere and promotes fine motor skills, creativity, and joy in crafting.

According to official information, there are free parking spaces, accessible restrooms, an elevator, and dining options on-site. This makes the visit pleasant and well-planned for families.
