Engelberg Abbey (Benedictine Monastery)
Highlight • Religious Site
The Benedictine Abbey of Engelberg is located in a mountain valley at the foot of Mount Titlis. The monastery was founded by the Zurich nobleman Konrad von Sellenbüren and founded in 1120 by monks from Muri under Abbot Adelhelm. In the middle of the 12th century, monks from the reformed monastery of St. Blasien (Black Forest) renewed monastic life. Abbot Frowin (1147-78) founded a writing school, which flourished under him and his successors Berchtold (1178-97) and Heinrich (1197-1223). Since Frowin's time at the latest, the abbey has been a double monastery. The women's community moved to Sarnen (St. Andreas Monastery) in 1615. Around 1604, Engelberg Monastery was accepted into the Swiss Benedictine Congregation.
Since its foundation, the abbey has held a central position in the Engelberg valley. Until the French Revolution, the abbot was both the spiritual and secular lord of the valley. In 1798, the valley people gained political independence. Over time, the monastery was plagued by internal difficulties, external challenges, fires and plague epidemics, but monastic life was maintained without interruption throughout the centuries.
The current baroque monastery complex was built after the third fire (1729). The monks have been teaching young people since the monastery's beginnings. In the 19th century, the school was expanded (high school diploma since 1909). The school buildings were expanded in 1972-74.
Today, the Engelberg Abbey School runs a high school that prepares students for the bilingual high school diploma (German/English) and the International Baccalaureate. The boarding school is open to boys and girls who attend the grammar school or the secondary school (IOS) run by the municipality of Engelberg and housed in the monastery's rooms.
