Kloster Schoenthal

Sculpture at Schoenthal

HISTORY, NATURE AND ART AT CLOSE QUARTERS

Since the year 2000 Schoenthal Monastery has  been transformed into a place of cultural encounters. Embedded in the Jura  hills, its collection of contemporary sculpture engages in an intimate dialogue  with nature. Individual walks to the artworks start at the Romanesque monastery  church that itself houses a gallery for temporary exhibitions. The rooms of the former Benedictine  cloister can host inspiring seminars and retreats. The  monastery guesthouse also invites individual visitors to stay a while and enjoy  the peace and quiet. The Schoenthal Monastery’s future is secured by a non-profit  foundation and its Society of Friends.
