Kloster Mehrerau (Mehrerau Monastery), Bregenz

Located on the outskirts of Bregenz, it is believed that the first monastery erected on this site was built by Saint Columbanus in the 7th century. During the 11th century it was completely rebuilt, and after the Thirty Years War as well. This Roman Catholic monastery was closed at the beginning of the 19th century and many of its buildings were sold at auction. In 1859 a Neo-Romanesque church was built. The Mehrerau Monastery is still owned by the Cistercian Order, housing a boarding school, sanatorium, farm and Klosterkeller restaurant.
