WILLISAW :Former Monastery St. Urban
St. Urban
The magnificent Baroque church is part of the extensive monastery complex, which includes a beautiful park and impressive buildings. Its renovated twin turrets are visible in their new glory from afar.
Not only the world famous carved choir stalls are worth a trip. But also the largest and most beautiful Baroque staircase in Switzerland that leads to an ornate festival hall. Here, like in the church, concerts frequently take place. The magnificent library is an elegant testimony to the former abbey's participation in festive events.
