Ittingen Museum
The Ittingen Museum provides a lively insight into the history of the buildings and their inhabitants. In the sparse monks' cells, you can experience how the Carthusians sought God's presence in silence and solitude.
The richly furnished dining room and the magnificent rococo church still present themselves today as if monks still lived and prayed in Ittingen. At the same time, the billiard table in the chapter house tells of the dissolution of the monastery in 1848 and the subsequent use of the site as the seat of a landowning family. The themes and stories surrounding the monastery and the Carthusian order are made accessible to a wide audience by means of an audio guide, radio plays for children and publications.
The outdoor area is also characterized by monastic life, as visitors can experience on four themed trails through the gardens of the Charterhouse. If you stroll through the grounds with open eyes, you will come across fragments of historical garden design amidst the floral splendor of today's planting.
