St. George's Abbey, Stein am Rhein

Beautiful medieval monastery from the 11 century , went through centuries being rebuild now functioning as museum . This is one of the best maintained 11 century monuments in the entire country , standing right by the river and left to the bridge as you enter from the ,considered old main road ( access is also made on the other parts of stein am Rhein village . Went to visit stein am Rhein and I could not leave town without visiting the museum and the experience was great ! It's very beautiful inside ,having walls explaining the many happening trough the ages ,many rooms maintained as original and other more modern with more information. It's a architecture marvel ,there are so many rooms inside that look so different ,even having so many distinct colours . The entrance is paid ( also to maintain the monastery ) ,access with well chairs is very easy but there are rooms with stairs ,and I didn't see wheelchair adapted stair , parking space is only possible outside the stein am Rhein town ,on the far right when you enter trough the bridge ,it's very large ans also has WC. Overall a beautiful monastery almost surrounded by even more beautiful town ! A must to any history lover !

Wouldn’t be able to upload all these pictures if it wasn’t for the help of the museum owner. I carelessly dropped my phone in the river while being immersed in this lovely historical site... The owner was so kind that he offered to help by jumping into the river to get the phone for me. I couldn’t be more thankful for that. I would never forget his manly gesture and nice manner.. Expressing my heartfelt gratitude again🙏🏻❤️❤️ Definitely visit this museum when you’re in Stein am Rhein, especially if you’re a fan of historical stuff!

Beautiful museum with amazing historical artefacts. Owners were really nice and it's free with the Swiss travel pass. Highly recommend

Really nice place - not too many people so you can feel a little the spirit of monastery. Well preserved and of course dining hall with it's murals and wooden ceiling is a beauty. We really enjoy this visit.

This is a hidden gem. It is not in a very touristic location, but it is really worth visiting. The staff is super kind and the Kloster amazing.

Ancient Abbey, with original wall murals and construction from medieval times. Don't miss it!

The bells to this abbey was ringing for 15 minutes. It caught our attention so we popped in for a few minutes. It's a very simple abbey but it has been around since 1007!

Came here for a family wedding great venue
