Begin of monastic life at Engelberg 1120. By the end of the 13th century, the abbey had established itself as
the feudal lord over Engelberg valley. Since 1386 under the protection of Schwyz,
Luzern, Obwalden and
Nidwalden. Remained Catholic during the Reformation. Maintained its sovereignty until 1798. From 1798 to
1802 part of Canton Waldstätt, from 1803 to 1815 part of Nidwalden, since 1815 part of
Obwalden. While tiny as a political entity (just over 1000 subjects), Engelberg enjoyed a reputation as a center of learning far beyond the borders of Switzerland. Historical Atlas, Switzerland Page |
