Former Mariaberg Abbey, Gothic monastery complex in Rorschach, Switzerland.
The Former Mariaberg Abbey stands as a late gothic monastery structure on the shores of Lake Constance, featuring intricate tracery windows and ribbed vaults.
Construction began in 1487 under Abbot Ulrich Rösch, but the abbey faced destruction during political conflicts between St. Gallen city and the prince abbot.
The chapter hall contains paintings from 1560, while the cloister displays an arrangement of keystones following specific religious symbolism patterns.
The Former Mariaberg Abbey now functions as part of the University of Teacher Education St. Gallen, located at Seminarstrasse 27 in Rorschach.
The attic structure maintains its original wooden construction from the 15th century, assembled without the use of iron nails.
