Kloster Holzen Hotel

This was is a large cloister, to a large degree converted to a hotel and conference centre, while maintaining some space and certainly the aura of its original purpose. There are still a few nuns resident in a private section of the property, and we had the opportunity to chat with one of them to learn much about the history of the place. The hotel conversion was very well done, without destroying the historical significance of the property. The rooms were comfortable, but not very spacious. There are large grounds for walks, and even a charming little animal farm that kids would enjoy. The onsite chapel is well worth a visit. The onsite restaurant is a bit formal in its presentation, but nonetheless friendly and welcoming. It's menu focuses on local produce and cuisine.
