Capuchin Friary, Monastery in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland.
The Capuchin Friary stands below Rapperswil Castle on the shore of Lake Zürich, occupying a peninsula called Endingerhorn with rose gardens and a grotto.
Founded in 1606 with four priests and three friars, the monastery became fortified in 1662 as part of the town walls, incorporating a defensive tower.
The monastic buildings serve as a center for Catholic spirituality, providing religious services, educational programs, and hosting cultural gatherings for the local community.
The monastery offers week-long stays for guests who wish to participate in daily activities with nine brothers and two nuns from different religious orders.
The medieval Einsiedlerhaus, part of the monastery complex, marks the location of a former ferry gate connecting to the islands of Lützelau and Ufenau.
