The Ittingen Museum forms the core of Ittingen Charterhouse. It focuses on the history of the place and the peculiarities of the Carthusian order. For centuries monastic communities lived here, first the Augustinians and from the middle of the 15th century the Carthusians. The richly furnished dining room, the sparse monks' cells and the magnificent rococo church present themselves even today as if the monks still lived and prayed in Ittingen. Whoever wanders through the cloisters and workrooms will gain insights into a world that would normally remain closed due to the strict rules of the Carthusian order. There is hardly a place in the Lake Constance area where monastic life and spirituality could be experienced more authentically. The gardens with their unique combination of ornamental and useful plants, the largest historic rose garden in Switzerland with over a thousand rose bushes, and four garden theme paths invite visitors to linger and discover.
