Education Centre Roggenburg

Description

 "Education as colorful as life" is what the education center offers in its biannual course program booklet for all age groups. The cultural program "Roggenburg Summer" radiates far beyond the region. The education center also offers rooms for events and conferences of institutions, clubs and associations.

Since Count Bibereck donated his castle as a monastery in 1126, the Premonstratensian Canons have been at home in Roggenburg. The secularization in 1802 put an end to a 700-year monastic tradition. It was not until 180 years later - the buildings were used for other purposes several times in the meantime - that the fathers of the Premonstratensian order returned. In Roggenburg, the community of canons devotes itself primarily to parish pastoral care, educational work and cultural cultivation. In Roggenburg Monastery, history, spirit, art and culture are tangible and alive. The atmosphere is both relaxing and stimulating. Meditative places and communicative meeting places are as much a part of the monastery's essence as the balanced combination of spiritual life and secular being. Since 2013, the monastery building has been resplendent in its baroque beauty after many years of renovation. In 2015, the newly laid-out gardens were completed.
