Pfäfers Abbey Church

The Pfäfers monastery church is a historic site with a special geographical location. It served as a hospice for monks and is known for its energetic atmosphere. A legend tells of a dove that determined the location of the monastery.

Wonderful energies can be found in the former monastery church, although the actual power place is not accessible. It is obvious that a church was built here. But why a monastery? The special geographical position of this place was probably the deciding factor. The access roads to Graubünden and over the passes passed by here. The abbey served as a hospice for the monks who moved from Reichenau via St. Gallen, Pfäfers and Disentis to Como and Bobbio. St. Pirminus wanted to have a monastery built at Maschlins. A worker was wounded, whereupon a white dove carried the bloody splinter to the wooded hill. Where she dropped it, Pirmin recognized the right place for the monastery. The location of a church or monastery is often based on a legend. The dove functions here as a so-called pointing animal. However, it is doubtful whether St. Pirmin founded the monastery himself. Pfäfers is not mentioned in his saint's vita. You can find energy under the pulpit.
