Kloster Ingenbohl

Kloster Ingenbohl is a women's monastery in Brunnen situated on a hillside overlooking the surrounding area and serving as the administrative center of the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross. The property includes living quarters, a chapel, and supporting buildings that form a self-contained complex.

The monastery was founded in 1856 and grew into an important religious community. It underwent reorganization in 1927 when it received its current name, leading to its establishment as an independent province in 1966.

The Sisters trace their roots to a community dedicated to nursing and social service, continuing this mission today through visible projects in the region. Visitors can see how care and support are woven into the daily work that extends beyond the monastery walls.

The monastery is located at Klosterstrasse 10 and accessible from the surrounding area, with the hillside walk offering a pleasant approach from below. Visitors can use the café and meeting space available on the property, allowing a practical sense of the daily environment.

The grave of Mother Maria Theresia serves as a pilgrimage site on the grounds where visitors can spend moments of reflection during certain times. Over the years it has drawn people seeking a personal spiritual connection to this figure.
