Einsiedlerhaus, Medieval stone building in Rapperswil, Switzerland
Einsiedlerhaus stands at the edge of Lake Zurich, featuring an adjoining garden integrated into the former town wall of Rapperswil.
The structure dates back to the 13th century and functioned as a wool mill from 1660 until 1971, operated by Capuchin friars.
In 2012, the building transformed into a youth music school through a partnership between the city of Rapperswil and proMusicante association.
Located at Endingerstrasse 7, visitors access the building through the Endingertor tower gate, which connects it to the Capuchin monastery.
The property maintains a traditional agreement requiring 50 kilograms of apples to be delivered each autumn to the Capuchin friars.
