Fischingen Monastery History / 900 Years of Monastery History
Since 1879, the monastery properties have been owned by the Fischingen Monastery Association. The monastery is home to a small Benedictine community, which is a tenant. The association also ensures that this national monument is open to the public. It has thus been responsible for the maintenance and revitalization of the historic complex for more than 140 years.
Bishop Ulrich II of Constance founded Fischingen Monastery before 1138. It flourished during the Baroque period and was dissolved by the Thurgau government in 1848.
In 1879, the St. Iddazell Association acquired the monastery complex, which was converted into an educational center in 1982. It remains in their possession to this day.
Starting in 1943, monks from Engelberg came to Fischingen to care for the children's home.
In 1977, they were able to rebuild the old Benedictine abbey.

Benedictine monastery was founded in 1138, very worth seeing. Next door is the Pilgrim Brewery.
