ENGELBERG MONASTERY

The Benedictine Monastery of Engelberg has influenced the local

history of this beautiful mountain valley since 1120, the year the

monastery was founded. The modern day activities of the monks

grew out of the essential needs of the locality: education

(Stiftsschule), pastoral duties, crafts and handiwork, cultural,

agricultural and environmental development and maintenance. In all

of these areas, the monks—as well as the other men and women who

work in the monastery—have had a hand.

The Benedictine Monastery of Engelberg offers public tours year

round to visitors and guests. (Mondays through Saturdays, no tours

Sundays or holidays.) Tours last about one hour, and highlights

include the Baroque Hall, the guest refectory, the ‚Room of Virtues’

with its exquisite inlaid woodwork done by Br. Columban Louis and

the renovated monastery church.
