Founded in 1120, Engelberg Monastery (Kloster Engelberg) is a working Benedictine monastery in Lucerne, Switzerland, home to about 30 monks. After a fire in the early 18th century, the monastery was rebuilt, preserving its historical significance. Today, visitors can explore the interior on guided tours, which reveal the baroque monastery church and a collection of interesting artifacts. The tours offer a glimpse into the daily life and rich history of this enduring spiritual community.
