Former Ittingen Charterhouse

The former Charterhouse encompasses two museums, extensive gardens, accommodations, and dining facilities within medieval stone walls and courtyards.

Founded in the 12th century as an Augustinian monastery, the site transformed into a Carthusian monastery in 1461 and operated until its closure in 1848.

The preserved monastery includes a Rococo church, monk cells, and dining halls that now house the Ittingen Museum and Thurgau Art Museum.

The museums remain open daily from May through September from 11:00 to 18:00, with reduced hours from October through April.

The monastery maintains traditional cheese production using milk from its own dairy cows, continuing centuries-old local agricultural practices.
