Monastery Gottstatt, Premonstratensian monastery in Orpund, Switzerland
The monastery complex includes a church building constructed in 1300, featuring stone walls and architectural elements from multiple construction periods.
Count Rudolf I von Neuchâtel-Nidau established Monastery Gottstatt in 1255 after an initial unsuccessful attempt to create a religious settlement in 1247.
The monastery functions as a center for religious education, hosting weekly classes and community prayers for residents of the surrounding region.
Modern accessibility improvements include stair lifts, making the historic religious site accessible to visitors with mobility limitations.
The monastery served as a workplace for physicist Georg Simon Ohm, who taught classes within these religious walls.
