Irsee's historic character is strongly shaped by the former Benedictine monastery; houses dating from the monastery period still form part of the village streetscape today.

The Baroque parish church of St. Peter and Paul was built between 1699 and 1703 and also serves as a venue for concerts, including organ performances.

The former monastery complex now houses the Swabian Conference, Education and Cultural Centre Kloster Irsee.
