Former St. John commandry, Religious architectural ensemble in Münchenbuchsee, Switzerland.
The former St. John commandry includes multiple structures such as the convent house, cell house, and former kitchen house from 1747.
Established on January 17, 1101, this commandry served as a center for the Knights Hospitaller, providing care for pilgrims during medieval times.
The buildings reflect the architectural evolution from the 12th century through various renovations, including transformations in 1540 and 1964.
Located along Klosterweg and Oberdorfstrasse, sections of the complex now function as a language therapy school with meeting facilities.
The site features a Landvogteischloss built between 1600-1603, replacing the original summer house of the religious community.
