Abbeys monasteries and convents Rapperswil-Jona

This Capuchin convent was built in 1606 by the town's inhabitants. The site is best known for its location on a lakeside peninsula, its magnificent rose garden and the grotto dedicated to Saint Anthony, which still attracts pilgrims. Spiritual retreats are held here, where you can take part in the convent's religious and community life. Men and women of all faiths are welcome. To help you make contact, you'll be assigned a brother or sister to accompany you.
