Switzerland - Eastern Switzerland
Einsiedeln
A Karen Brown Recommendation
Another excursion from Lucerne is to the town of Einsiedeln to see the home
of the famous Black Madonna. The Monastery of Einsiedeln was founded by Meinrad, a
Benedictine monk, who built a small chapel for the Black Madonna (a statue of the
Virgin Mary), which had been given to him by Zürich priests. Meinrad was later
murdered by some men who mistakenly thought he had hidden treasures. Later, the
Monastery of Einsiedeln was built over Meinrad’s grave and another chapel was erected
to house the Black Madonna. This site has become a pilgrimage, not only for Catholics, but also for tourists who are attracted to the Einsiedeln Abbey, an excellent example of
Baroque architecture.
