The admission is 5 CHF. The monastery is empty. It just consists of empty rooms. Some rooms have some old wooden closets. One room was nicely painted. It was waste of time. The description of the rooms was not in English. If they are taking money, at least put an English panel. They don't even have an English brochure at the front desk.

Unbelievable place! Stein am Rhein is a very small town, but you will be surprised with what you will find here. Lots of people gather to enjoy a fresh brewed coffee or the local bakery (patisserie). Enjoyable as can be a visit to this Monk place. This site offers a locations for beautiful pictures. Some of the chambers for the monks are floating over the river with spectacular views through the windows. The grade is located just on the river bank. This garden as well has a section for medicinal plants used by the friaries. Some rooms are highly decorated, and others are kind of subtle. After the tour, you feel you lived for a few minutes a life of a friar!

The bells to this abbey was ringing for 15 minutes. It caught our attention so we popped in for a few minutes. It's a very simple abbey but it has been around since 1007!

It's definitely worth an hour - I was there already 3 times and will probably go again. While visiting castles I feel overwhelmed by all the ornaments, furniture (and - let's face it - crowds). Here you can experience the stillness of monastery, put attention to details, take a break. Don't miss the small lovely garden, full of aromas (at least in summer;))

A very kind, friendly and well explaining in English receptionist is there to be ready to explain about what's the importance of the history of the Abbey, I got impressed by the Frescos, and remembering as one of the nicest places in Swiss ( mostly because of the warm hearted receptionist). Greetings from a Korean, really worth to visit if you wanna experience a tranquil yet gotta feeling moments!

Must visit place. Loved the greens, waterfall, flowers and most of all very friendly people. Wish had more time to stay here.
