Kloster Einsiedeln

Great church, extremely beautiful on the inside. Would 100% recommend going to see it at least once.

The Benedictine Abbey is an impressive baroque pile on the edge of the old town. Founded on the site where the hermit St Meinard once lived and was martyred, it housed a thriving and learned community and an enormous and still growing library, although the monastic population is now much smaller than at its height. It is well-worth joining the guided tour for 20 CHF if you can speak German or, like me, have your own translator. Well worth it for access to the library and the chance to view some of its special volumes. Tickets from the information centre on the Hauptstrasse off the Klosterplatz. At 16:30 you can hear sung vespers in the Abbey church after which the monks process to the chapel of the Black Madonna and sing Salve Regina in haunting harmony.

One of the most beautiful stucco I've ever seen inside churches

An amazing place to visit, the interior of the Church is magnificent, has wonderful murals on the ceiling.

Review as a pilgrim: an amazing place to visit but also to stay, the prices are fair for accommodation and dinner and breakfast. Super clean and very nice welcome, definitely can recommend to a pilgrim. Check in is behind the church, you can see it on the picture, definitely come back as a visitor, thank you very much

Amazing Abbey, you immediately feel the presence of God from the first step. The monks are loving and inviting. It really a place of prayer and Spritual growth

Very nice place to visit. No photos or videos allowed inside the Church. It is very ornately decorated with wonderful murals on the ceiling.

Beautiful church with nice horse stables in the back. We enjoyed the church bells and petting the horses. we didn’t need tickets. Parking spots were available nearby (weekday)
