With 22 seminar and conference rooms, we are one of the best-known seminar hotels in eastern Switzerland.
Today the former Carthusian monastery, embedded in vineyards and the unspoiled Thur landscape, is a lively seminar, conference and culture centre well served by public transport. Coupled with a modern infrastructure, this is a unique setting for developing creative ideas, generating new concepts and sharing memorable experiences. All our rooms have natural daylight and come with big windows that allow surprising views and unexpected insights.
