Former monastery buildings, Religious architectural ensemble in Interlaken, Switzerland.
The monastery buildings incorporate various architectural styles from medieval to Renaissance periods, with distinct features visible across different sections of the complex.
Founded in 1133 as an Augustinian convent, the monastery expanded its influence during the 13th century, becoming the largest religious landholder in the region.
The monastery buildings served as a center for religious education and spiritual services until 1528, when the Protestant Reformation led to their secularization.
Located at Schloss 1-11 in Interlaken, the former monastery buildings now house government offices and administrative facilities for the district.
Between 1746 and 1750, parts of the original structure were replaced by the New Castle, which continues to function as an administrative center.
