Disappointing. Car ban. No walking. Load too. There was no good energy here at all (as is usually the case with such spiritual institutions). We quickly disappeared again.

The sisters are always very friendly and the food in the restaurant is usually good. But the sauces could have a little more taste. The nature is very beautiful and for bathing there is a bathhouse where you can also lie down.

Very quiet and idyllic place directly on Lake Zurich. The abbess is a surprise

We spent study days for our master's thesis here and were well looked after. Beautiful place of power with dear sisters. Great, large rooms in a wonderful location! Great library with WiFi and coffee machine. Highly recommended for a break, for studying or simply as a "normal" guest. Also great destination. Should one support. Thanks very much.

The incredibly picturesque monastery of Mariazell Wurmsbach, located directly on the Obersee (Lake Zurich), is a Cistercian monastery that has existed since 1259 and is therefore older than Switzerland. It has been inhabited continuously since then and consists of the monastery church with cloister, the monastery buildings, the guest house, the walled monastery garden, the cemetery, a farm and the former girls' boarding school. Most of the historic buildings date from the 17th century. Today's monastery church was built in the years around 1600-1620. The cloister was built between 1615 and 1620 by the abbess Maria Dumeisen. In 1767 the church was redesigned in baroque style with a rococo ceiling. A last major redesign took place in 1866, when the church had become too small due to the opening of the boarding school. From 1836 to 2022 the monastery had a school for girls, from 1842 a girls' boarding school. This was closed in 2022 due to a lack of students.
