Rüti Monastery, Premonstratensian monastery in Rüti, Switzerland
The monastery complex includes a cathedral completed in 1283, located at the intersection of important medieval trade and pilgrimage routes in northeastern Switzerland.
Founded in 1206 by Count Liutold IV of Regensberg, the monastery served as a burial site for nobility until its dissolution during the 1525 Reformation period.
The monastery grounds contained fourteen incorporated churches and managed extensive properties across 185 locations throughout northeastern Switzerland between 1206 and 1525.
The former monastery buildings now house community facilities, including a public library and residential apartments in the municipality of Rüti.
In 1389, Abbot Bilgeri von Wagenberg organized the reburial of 100 Swiss-Austrian knights at the monastery following the Battle of Näfels.
