Flüeli-Ranft - Where Brother Klaus Lived

Abbeys & churches – Niklaus von Flüe lived from 1417 until 1487, first as a farmer and councilman, then as a hermit in the Ranft Ravine. The mystic and peacemaker, who was canonized in 1947, is Switzerland's national saint and the patron of numerous churches.

Schon in der Frühzeit war die Felseninsel zwischen dem Genfersee und den steil aufragenden Bergen bewohnt. Von hier wurde jahrhundertelang der Schiffsverkehr auf dem Genfersee und der bedeutende Landweg zum St.Bernhard-Pass beherrscht. Vom 12. bis ins 16.

Jahrhundert, den unterirdischen Gewölben, Paradesälen und dem original erhaltenen Schlafzimmer aus der Zeit der Berner Herrschaft. Schon in der Frühzeit war die Felseninsel
