Most important place on the pilgrimage in Switzerland. An impressive place with a magnificent cathedral and monastery. The evening Vespers service with Ave Maria is a must - the chants and organ music followed by a pilgrimage is a highly spiritual experience - even or especially if you don't think much of spirituality.

Be sure to spend the night in the monastery hostel. The monks' cells are spartan and nevertheless very impressive and appear with an unbelievable calmness. The pilgrim's stamp with the black Madonna is a must and is available at the hostel reception.

magnificent baroque church building
The magnificent church building was planned and executed by our brother Br. Kaspar Moosbrugger and decorated by the important baroque artists Ägid Quirin Asam and Cosmas Damian Asam (1719-1735). The monastery church is dedicated to the Mother of God Mary (patronage on August 15th) and Saint Mauritius (feast day on September 22nd).

The heyday and crisis, idealism and splendor, holiness and sin alternate in the course of the centuries that the Swiss monastery of Einsiedeln experienced. What began in the 9th century with St. Meinrad has become a blessing for countless people. Today the Benedictine abbey can look back on over 1,000 years of history
