Cloister Cazis

The Cazis monastery is a Dominican monastery in the municipality of Cazis in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.

The monastery was founded at the beginning of the 8th century by Bishop Viktor II of Chur as a convent of canonesses. In 1156, the Rule of Augustine was introduced. In 1526, after the Reformation, the monastery was condemned to extinction by the Ilanz Articles and the prohibition of the admission of novices enacted therein, and in 1570, after the death of the last Augustinian, it was dissolved. Afterwards, the buildings were used as living space by the Schauensteiners and the Planta family. They then stood empty for a long time and fell into ruin.
