Former Cistercian convent with church, convent building and convent barn
Former Cistercian convent with church, convent building and convent barn, Cistercian convent complex in Olsberg, Switzerland.
The convent features three primary structures: a main church building, residential quarters for the religious community, and a substantial agricultural barn.
Founded before 1234, this oldest Cistercian nunnery in Switzerland relocated from Kleinroth to Olsberg in 1236 due to location requirements.
The convent church transformed from a branch of Kaiseraugst parish into Switzerland's first Christian Catholic parish church in 1872.
Located at Chloster 9 in Olsberg, the complex maintains its position as a class A Swiss cultural property with national significance.
From 1807, the convent buildings served as an educational institution for noble daughters and later transformed into a training center for female teachers.
