Einsiedeln Abbey - The Most Attractive Monastery in the World | Kloster Einsiedeln | Switzerland | Canton of Schwyz
Einsiedeln Abbey ( Kloster Einsiedeln ) is a Benedictine monastery in the village of Einsiedeln in the canton of Schwyz, Switzerland
The history of the church and society is reflected in the more than a thousand years of monastery history. It shows that the monastery is not an island, but is connected to its environment in many ways. Boom and decline, idealism and decadence, holiness and sin, light and shadow alternate in the course of the centuries. And yet: What began in the 9th century with Saint Meinrad has borne fruit in many ways and has become a blessing for countless people. This monastic community can thus build on a solid foundation in the 21st century and feels privileged to continue writing the history of the monastery and place of pilgrimage.
