Eschenbach Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Eschenbach, Switzerland.
The monastery complex includes a parish church dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and a mortuary chapel within its architectural ensemble.
Founded in 1290 for Augustinian nuns, the abbey moved to its current location in Obereschenbach in 1309 and became a Cistercian community in 1588.
The nuns of Eschenbach Abbey maintain traditional religious practices according to the Rule of Saint Benedict while engaging with the local community.
The abbey, located at Freiherrenweg 11, provides opportunities for spiritual retreats and religious conferences throughout the year.
The abbey complex features what was recorded as the largest sundial in Switzerland, installed during the guest house renovations of 1683.
