The local name "Frienisberg" (originally "AURORA" monastery = dawn, church facing east) is also associated with a far-reaching and significant history and culture, which can be traced back to the founding year 1131. Until the early 16th century, Frienisberg corresponded to a common type of Cistercian monastery. Source: Wikipedia

There are historical monastery paths Meikirch - Frienisberg, Schüpfen - Frienisberg and Seedorf - Frienisberg.

Frienisberg is a small village in Bern, which is particularly characterized by its former monastery. In 1528, the monastery was closed and the complex was used for various purposes over the next few centuries. Today, a residential home for the elderly extends over the entire municipal area.

The roots of the Frienisberg residential and nursing home lie in the former monastery of the same name. After its dissolution in 1528, in the course of the Reformation in Switzerland, it was the seat of the Bernese bailiffs. From 1834 the cantonal boys' deaf mute institution was located until it moved to Münchenbuchsee in 1890. The subsequent catering establishment was purchased by today's sponsors in 1897 and developed in the course of the 20th century to the national, well-known residential and nursing home known today.
