Kloster Beerenberg, Monastery ruins in Wülflingen, Switzerland
The stone foundations of Kloster Beerenberg rest on the eastern slope of Beerenberg hill, featuring remaining walls up to four meters high and courtyard floors.
Duke Leopold I of Austria granted permission in 1318 for the establishment of a hermitage, which evolved into a monastery under Franciscan Heinrich von Linz by 1355.
Archaeological excavations between 1970 and 1973 revealed decorated tiles, ceramic fragments, and burial sites that document the medieval monastic life at Beerenberg.
The protected ruins can be accessed through walking paths in the wooded area, with designated spaces for outdoor recreation and family activities.
The monastery acquired parish status in 1374 but declined due to administrative issues, leading Pope Sixtus IV to order its dissolution in 1482.
