Inhalt der Website: Benedictine Monastery of Mariastein: Abbey of the holy Deacon and Martyr Vincent: The original monastery of the Benedictine Monastery of Mariastein was Beinwil on the Passwang. Abbot Esso and a few monks from the reformed monastery Hirsau in the Black Forest founded there a little monastery around 1100 (the monastery's tradition mentions the year 1085 for this foundation, but this is pretty uncertain). A plebiscite restored the monastery legally 1971. The overall restoration of the monastery was immediately begun and was finally finished together with the renovation of the church in 1999/2000.

Very special to Mariastein is the natural Grotto down the many stairs with the Shrine of Our Lady, the "Smiling Madonna". During the whole year many people find encouragement and help at "Our Lady of Consolation".
