Kreuzlingen Abbey, Augustinian monastery in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland
The stone abbey complex features Baroque architecture with a prominent church dedicated to Saints Ulrich and Afra near Lake Constance.
Founded in 1101, the monastery served as a refuge for Pope John XXIII during the Council of Constance from 1414 to 1418.
The former abbey houses a collection of medieval manuscripts and religious artifacts that document centuries of monastic scholarship and traditions.
Regular guided tours provide access to the church interior, library, and gardens, with information available in German, French, and English.
The monastery received its name from a fragment of the True Cross brought from Jerusalem by Saint Conrad in the 10th century.
