Provostry Wislikofen

Provostry Wislikofen is a 9th-century monastery and church in Zurzach featuring multiple event spaces, including the Propsteisaal hall. The building retains its historic structure with various chambers that serve contemporary purposes while maintaining their original character.

The provostry was established around the year 900 and later designated as a class B Swiss cultural property of regional importance. This status reflects its significance in preserving medieval monastic traditions through the centuries.

The provostry remains a place of religious practice while serving as a venue for concerts, seminars, and community events that bring visitors into its historic rooms. This dual purpose connects its monastic heritage with contemporary cultural life in the region.

The site is easily accessible by car with parking available for visitors. The nearest bus stop, Wislikofen Dorf, is within walking distance and provides convenient public transportation access.

The on-site restaurant uses herbs and berries grown in the monastery garden for its dishes. These ingredients come directly from the grounds and are combined with regional and seasonal produce.
