Kloster Seedorf, Benedictine abbey in Seedorf, Switzerland
Kloster Seedorf features a church constructed between 1695 and 1699, combining a wall-pillar hall with a dome-vaulted central choir north of the Alps.
Founded in 1215 as a double monastery for the Order of Saint Lazarus, the institution transformed into a women's convent during the 14th century.
The monastery preserves the relics of Saint Constantia, obtained from the Cyriaca catacombs in 1660 and donated by church warden Johann Heinrich Püntener.
The monastery holds daily masses from Monday to Saturday, with Sunday and holiday services scheduled at 8:00 AM for public attendance.
The community maintains the only women's monastery in Canton Uri, where seven sisters live according to the Rule of Saint Benedict.
