Former Benedictine Abbey of All Saints, Benedictine monastery and museum in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.

The monastery complex includes a Romanesque church, a cloister, and multiple exhibition spaces within Switzerland's largest monastic structure.

Count Eberhard von Nellenburg established the monastery in 1049, receiving consecration from Pope Leo IX during his journey through the region.

The Museum zu Allerheiligen displays archaeological findings, natural history specimens, and art collections from the 15th century to modern times.

The museum opens daily from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours by appointment and maintaining a café with outdoor seating.

The Schillerglocke, a 4.5-ton bell cast in 1486, represents one of the monastery's preserved medieval architectural elements.
