Kloster Holzen
Highlight • Religious Site
Today's Holzen Monastery is situated on Karlsberg, a hill rising approximately 20 meters above the Schmutter Valley near Allmannshofen. The name "Karlsberg" originates from a chapel built in the early 17th century in honor of St. Charles Borromeo.
Originally, the Benedictine convent, founded in the 12th century, was located in the valley near the Schmutter River. Due to the risk of flooding and structural decay, a decision was made at the end of the 17th century to build a new monastery on the higher plateau. The monastery complex, with its prominent Baroque Church of St. John the Baptist, was constructed between 1696 and 1710 according to plans by the Vorarlberg architect Franz Beer.
After secularization in 1803, the complex was initially used for secular purposes. Since 1927, it has belonged to the Dominikus-Ringeisen-Werk (Dominican Ringeisen Foundation) and today serves as a social institution, hotel, and conference center.
Holzen Monastery and Karlsberg Hill form a historically developed ensemble that impressively combines the landscape, local history, and Baroque architecture of the region.
