👍👍 If you are looking for peace of mind, look no further. A leisure walk from Rikon Bahnhof (train station) up to the temple/library. Inner peace awaits and greets you. Familiarise yourself with the tibetan philosophy and way of living. On the way back, the famous Kuhn Rikon Fabrik(factory) lies by the...

👍👍 Der Weg von Dussnang auf die Hulftegg führt uns durch das Dorf Fischingen. Schon bald erblicken wir den Turm des Klosters und beschliessen, dort einen kurzen Halt einzulegen. Das Benediktinerkloster Fischingen wurde 1138 vom Konstanzer Bischof gegründet. Die heutige Klosterkirche zeigt sich im prunk...

Notre-Dame de Fatima
Monastery
👍👍 Im Kloster leben 18 vietnamesische Zisterzienser Mönche. Ich habe als Pilger auf dem Jakobsweg dort übernachtet: Man wird überaus gastfreundlich behandelt! Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis: Übernachtung mit Frühstück = 30,- CHF Abendbrot mit 3 Gängen = 15,- CHF zusätzlich. Die Einzel- und Doppel-Zim...

Frauenkloster Namen Jesu Solothurn
Monastery
👍👍 A very special place with very warm sisters. There are also really nice little concerts taking place on a regular basis. Everyone is also invited to pray with the sisters at 7 a.m. in the morning or at 5 a.m. in the evening. Unfortunately, all of the sisters are of advanced age and the future of thi...

St. George's Abbey, Stein am Rhein
Museum
😠 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...

👍👍 This afternoon I took part in a tour of the Capuchin monastery with the Rapperswil-Jona seniors' club. At the beginning of the church, Brother Norbert imparted a lot of interesting information about the history of the Capuchins. The tour of the building was interesting and the monastery shop was als...

Franziskanerkloster I Couvent des Cordeliers
Monastery
👍👍 In 1256 the convent of the "Cordeliers" was founded, of which very little remains today, as the current building in Baroque style dates back to 1712-1725. The retired Père Girard added to this construction in 1906 and after the fire of 1937, the entire structure was modified and renovated. The first...

La Valsainte Charterhouse
Monastery
👍👍 Located in the valley starting from Charmey, this site is magnificent but cannot be visited. Many walks can start from this place served by public transport and take us to La Berra for example. From this summit we can admire almost half of Switzerland.
