is very fertile, and excellent wine is produced in sufficient quantity for exportation. The
Benedictine
  abbey of Reichenau, founded in 724, was long celebrated for its wealth and for the services rendered by its monks to the cause of learning. In 1540 the abbey, which had previously been independent, was annexed to the see of Constance, and in 1799 it was secularized. The abbey
church
 , dating in part from the 9th century, contains the tomb of Charles the Fat (d. 888), who retired to this
island
  in 887, after losing the empire of Charlemagne. It now serves as the parish
church
  of Mittelzell, while the churches of Oberzell and Unterzell are also interesting buildings of the Carolingian era.
