Benedictine monastery of Dissentis Mustér
Foundation
The Frankish Sigisbert came up the Rhine in the company of Irish-Scottish wandering monks and built a hermitage in the uninhabited area of the Desertina. The local Rhaetian Placidus supported him. This led to the creation of the Disentis monastery around the year 700. The violent death of Placidus was seen as a martyrdom. The feast of the Disentis founding saints Placidus and Sigisbert is July 11th. It is celebrated on the Sunday before.
Secularization and restoration
During the secularization, Disentis escaped the fate of many abbeys - it was never repealed. The restoration of 1880 came after a change in mood among the people and the government. With the help of the Swiss Benedictine Congregation, Disentis was able to recover and flourish again under Abbot Benedikt Prevost (1888-1916).
Present
The Graubünden Oberland underwent rapid development in the 20th century: from self-sufficiency in mountain farming to a tourist region. The present-day monastery with a boarding school and pastoral care is a spiritual and intellectual center and feels solidarity with the population of the Cadi (from "Casa Dei", the former monastery) and the Surselva.

At the end of the village you have a view of the Benidictine Abbey. It was founded around the year 700, bears the name of Saint Martin and is today as it was in the late 17th century.
