The spirit of the Benedictine Monks is still perceptible in the Abbey Library, which is said to be the most beautiful secular Rococo hall in Switzerland.
The magnificent library, with its over 140'000 manuscripts, early prints and books contains the codex of the Nibelung as well as richly decorated Irish manuscripts and some 1000-year-old original parchments.
