Ittingen Monastery Description
A few kilometers northwest of Frauenfeld, above the Thur, is the former Carthusian monastery of Ittingen, founded as an Augustinian house in 1152 and taken over by the Carthusians in 1461. Much of the monastery was destroyed by fire in 1524. The cloister dates from about 1540; the church was built in 1549-53 and re-modeled in Baroque style in the 18th C.
