Saint Verena hermitage and sanctuary
Saint Verena hermitage and sanctuary, Religious sanctuary in Rüttenen, Switzerland.
The hermitage and sanctuary features a chapel, a grotto, and stations of the cross along a 2-kilometer trail in the Verena Gorge north of Solothurn.
Established in the 17th century, the hermitage complex includes religious stations dating from 1613 that underwent restoration work around 1990 by the Society of St. Verena.
The sanctuary maintains its function as a spiritual retreat where visitors participate in guided tours, lectures, exhibitions, and meditation sessions throughout the year.
