Kloster Einsiedeln (Einsiedeln Abbey and Monastery) is located about 19 miles southeast of Zürich in the town of Einsiedeln. It was founded by the Benedictine monk Saint Meinrad about 835 and is considered an important site of Roman Catholic pilgrimage in Switzerland. After the canonization of Meinrad in 1039, Saint Meinrad’s relics and remains were transferred from Reichenau to Einsiedeln, and the abbey’s importance as a place of worship and pilgrimage continued to grow. Original structures burned and foundations for a new church were laid in 1718. Additions and restorations have been made over the years. At the time of our visit, extensive renovation of the square in front of the church was on-going. They took care to create walkways for visitors to the church. There are public restroom facilities on site as well as a gift shop. Photos are not allowed inside the church, but books, postcards and other memorabilia are available in the shop at reasonable prices. There was no charge for visiting the church or attached stables.
