    The St. Maria der Engel monastery was a Capuchin convent in Wattwil in Toggenburg, Canton of St. Gallen. The monastery goes back to a beguinage community who lived in the 14th century on the Hünersedel on the Rickenpass and from the 15th century on the Pfanneregg south of Wattwil. After a fire in 1620 and the complete destruction of the monastery buildings on the Pfanneregg, a new building according to Tridentine rules was started on the Wenkenrüti in Wattwil and people moved into in 1621.
