stone and See also:basalt found in See also:great quantities around it lend See also:credence to this theory. It lies 85o ft. above the See also:sea, is 5 M. in circumference and 16o ft. deep, and is surrounded by an See also:amphitheatre of high hills. The See also:water is See also:sky See also:blue in See also:colour, very See also:cold and See also:bitter to the See also:taste. The lake has no natural outlet and consequently is subjected to a considerable rise and fall.

church, dating from the 12th See also:century, was restored in 1838. The See also:history of the monastery down to See also:modern times appears to have been uneventful.

In 1863 it passed into the hands of the See also:Jesuits, who, down to their See also:expulsion in 1873, published here a periodical, which still appears, entitled Stimmen aus Maria Laach. In 189a the monastery was again occupied by the See also:Benedictines.
