Intro

The birthplace, cell and chapel of St. Nicholas of Flüe, "Brother Klaus", is located 45 miles northeast of Lucerne near the small town of Flüeli.

  •

A path leads from Flüeli to the nearby Ranft Gorge where the 15th-century farmer and town councilor secluded himself after sacrificing his career and family for a life of fasting and contemplation. St. Nicholas was instrumental in arbitrating several treaties and political disputes, earning a reputation as a peacemaker and the role of Switzerland's patron saint. Brother Klaus's grave is in the Pilgrimage Church in nearby Sachseln.
