Current information
The provostry of St Gerold has a history stretching back over 1000 years. This is based on the life of St Gerold, who lived as a hermit in this valley and worked as a benefactor. Since the 13th century, the provostry has belonged to the Benedictine monastery of Einsiedeln in Switzerland.
Today, the Propstei St. Gerold is the cultural and spiritual centre of the region. A wide range of events and seminars are offered in its own cultural and seminar programme. Its picturesque location, bathed in sunshine with a magnificent view of the valley and the mountains, provides the ideal setting for a holiday or further education stay in the Großes Walsertal. The 63 guest rooms impress with their feel-good character, lovingly renovated and equipped with every comfort. The dining rooms in the Propstei spoil you all year round with fine food and sweet treats from the in-house patisserie. You are welcome to visit the stables with their loving residents during the day.
A place to meet and find meaning
The Propstei St. Gerold is a creative place where all people are welcomed equally. Regardless of religion, social status, age or orientation, people can meet here. ‘St Gerold is a place where heaven and earth meet’. Here you can trace the meaning of life and breathe a sigh of relief.
Worship or contemplation
The redesigned Provost's Church gives you a glimpse of how the church works, while the Chapel of Grace and the Crypt (Lower Church) are open to the public and can be used for services, weddings or christenings by outside groups. The modern cemetery is also worth a visit while you are still alive! Enquiries can be made directly to the Provost's Office.
Biosphere Reserve
Together with the Großes Walsertal, the Provost's Office of St. Gerold is committed to the sustainable use of its resources. The 'care of the common home' (Pope Francis) is exemplified in the Provost's Office. The lovingly landscaped Laudato Si garden is a testament to this. Visit it for relaxation or for an informative garden tour. The Provost's Office is a Biosphere Park Partner.
Path of the Senses - Path of Silence
A meditative circular path leads into the neighbouring forest, starting directly from the St. Gerold Provostry. Numerous ponds, small paths leading over bridges, surrounded by flowers, shrubs and trees, with benches, invite you to linger and meditate. The walk-through labyrinth, also on the Sinn trail, is unique. Individual guided tours from the Path of the Senses - Path of Silence to the Labyrinth are also available on request.
