The All Saints' Monastery, or Salvator Monastery, in Schaffhausen was a Benedictine abbey founded by Eberhard VI of Nellenburg in 1049. The minster is now a Protestant Reformed parish church. "On July 10, 1045, Emperor Henry III granted Count Eberhard of Nellenburg the right to mint coins in his villa Scâfhusun. A few years later, around 1050, Count Eberhard founded a Benedictine monastery in the Schachwald forest, between the town of Schaffhausen and the Rhine." On November 22, 1049, Pope Leo IX, an uncle of the founder, consecrated "an altar in honor of the Resurrection of Christ, the so-called Resurrection Chapel or Erhard Chapel," and thus likely also the future site of the monastery. [...] By 1050, the monastery was already under construction." Heinz Gallmann assumes "that the monastery, in accordance with this pope's ideology, constituted a separate legal entity, subject to the pope's protection, and that the rights of the founding family were thus limited to the hereditary patronage and the appointment of the abbot." In 1064, the construction of the Nellenburg family's proprietary monastery, founded by Eberhard von Nellenburg and his wife Ita, was completed under the direction of the master builder and court chaplain Luitpald. It was dedicated to the Salvator (Latin for 'Savior'), the Holy Cross, the Virgin Mary, and all the saints. This first abbey was modeled on sacred buildings from Cluniac Burgundy. The monastery, to which a leper house had already been added at its inception, experienced rapid growth. "The minster of this proprietary monastery of the Nellenburgs was consecrated in 1064 by Bishop Rumald of Constance and placed under the protection of the Roman See by Pope Alexander II." ....

Very nice city with Rhine promenade

The monastery in Schaffhausen looks back on a long history.

Great view of Laufen Castle from the Rhine bank hiking trail.

Inconspicuous at first glance, but a beautiful, well-kept monastery complex.

The Schiller bell, weighing 4.5 tons, was cast in 1486 and rang until 1895 as the largest bell in the Minster on All Saints' Day. Friedrich Schiller used its inscription as a motto for his famous poem "The Song of the Bell".

For more than 1100 years, Laufen Castle at the Rhine Falls has witnessed many social and political upheavals. Not infrequently, due to its privileged location, it was itself the focus of disputes. 858: first mention The Rhine Falls - at that time "big Lauffen" - gives the castle its name. The ancestral seat of the Barons of Laufen subsequently had many owners, including the Bishop of Constance, the All Saints Monastery in Schaffhausen and the Counts of Kyburg.
