Dominican Convent, Dominican convent in Ilanz, Switzerland
The Dominican Convent stands on the left bank of the Rhine River in the Sankt Niklaus district of Ilanz, featuring a church that accommodates 300 people.
Johann Fidel Depuoz and Sister Maria Theresia Gasteyer established the Ilanz Sisters community in 1865, focusing on education advancement and social welfare support.
The convent church contains artistic stained glass windows created by Max Ruedi and an altar arrangement made of Cristallina marble from the region.
Visitors can explore the House of Encounters, which provides meeting rooms, accommodation facilities, and spaces for spiritual retreats and educational programs.
Sister Anita Derungs developed the first biblical narrative figures at Ilanz Convent in 1964, which became known as Egli figures for religious education.
