Ittingen Charterhouse

In 1798 the officials of the Helvetic Republic forbade the acceptance of novices and declared the monastery's assets the property of the state.

Between 1867 and 1977 the estate was the private property of the Fehr family, who ran the former monastery and its land as an agricultural concern for several generations.

There is also a residential home here for about 30 people with either mental illnesses or learning difficulties who are employed round the various businesses on the site.

In addition, there are two hotels with 67 rooms altogether, and the restaurant Zur Mühle.

As well as standard agriculture, grapes and hops are grown and from them wine and beer produced (the beer is brewed by Calanda Bräu in Chur) and milk from the estate's own cows is used for the production of various cheeses.
