Königsfelden Monastery

In memory of this event his widow, Elizabeth of Carinthia, founded the monastery about 1310-11 at the site, approximately 200 meters (660 ft) from Brugg.

[1][2] Albert and Elisabeth’s oldest daughter, Agnes of Austria, the widow of King Andrew III of Hungary, moved to Königsfelden in 1317 and helped it to thrive, but did not join the monastery.

[3][4] With the conquest of the Western Aargau by the city of Bern, the monastery lost its connection with the Habsburg family.

The complex then served as the seat of the Bernese bailiffs of the Königsfelden district, a steward took over the administration of former monastic property.
