Did the tour of the abbey (+-1 hour). It was a Beautiful building but as a non German speaker I would have liked that the guide book would have been printed in the same order that the tour is being done even if I could ask questions afterwards.
Also it would have been nice to see some others rooms then only the most important ones like the living quarters and so on..
Beautiful monastery and church.
There is a flowershop (not interesting) and you can watch how they produce their own cheese. They sell the cheese too.
The church is worth a visit.
I just had the opportunity this afternoon to visit this church and monastery. Both within and without there was attention to detail and beauty. The grounds were adorned with lovely flowers and gardens. Inside the artistry and craftsmanship throughout was breathtaking. There were several beautiful side chapels and alters. The paintings, sculpture, architectural beauty all served to create an atmosphere of dignity and holiness.
I would definitely make this one of your must see stops when visiting Engelberg.
A charming town with amazing views. Definitely worth a visit if you want a relaxing stroll for a couple of hours.
Came to Engleberg to go to summit of Mt. Titlis. That was awesome. Saw in Fodor's guide that there was an Abbey in Engelberg so walked thru the town (very nice) to the Abbey and went inside. We did not see anyone else there and most of it seemed locked but could go in main church area. If you have the time, was a nice walk on a nice day.
Beautiful church with lovely gardens. The monastery is near by.
Beautiful abbey run by the monks. We actually got a tour of the abbey from one of 20 benedictine monks which are a part of the abbey at present. The tour was given to us in english as majority of the group understood English but can be in German if your group has majority non-English speakers. I don’t think the language is pre defined. But if you speak only english and tour is in German, the monk was willing to mention some facts in English. They were flexible and informal in terms of which language they use. So I dont believe there should be any issues for people who prefer tour in english to attend this tour. Tour cost was a nominal 12CHF and duration was about an hour. Tour included highlights of the abbey like room of virtues, the stunning chapel, library, etc. The center of the abbey with fountains and the gardens is inaccessible to public as they are a private area within the abbey for the monks. There is a lot of history and interesting story about this place which was shared during the tour. Highly recommended and worth the visit!
It is easily approachable by walking from the Bahnhof. They have their timings for the tourist tours, I was there around lunch hours so could not do the tour of the monastery. But, the view of the snow clad mountains from the monastery was spectacular.
