    The Maria Hilf Gubel monastery in Menzingen, Canton Zug, was founded in 1846 at the Maria Hilf pilgrimage church, around 300 years after the battle on the Gubel in 1531.

    It is believed that a first small chapel, the so-called Mount of Olives, was built over the mass graves of the soldiers killed on the Gubel in the battle of October 23rd to 24th, 1531.
    Construction of the actual battle chapel began in 1555, when many of the participants in the Battle of Gubel were still alive.
    There were ten donors and benefactors in Zugerland and abroad who supported the construction of the new chapel. The Constance suffragan bishop consecrated the house of God on October 23, 1559 “God the Almighty, his most revered mother Mary, the holy bishop Severin and the whole heavenly army in praise and praise for the salvation and preservation of the true, catholic, christian faith and beloved fatherland gracious, marvelous and valiantly won victory ”.

      The place is popular not only for spiritual reasons, but also because of the mundane view of the Central Plateau towards Zug and the mountains towards Rigi!
