Kloster Fahr launches the “experienceable” housing project

Kloster Fahr, September 2022

The Christian housing project “experienceable” was presented in the Fahr monastery. For this purpose, the construction site was opened to interested parties and details of the conversion of the former farmer's school into several apartments were presented.

With the project presentation "Area development Kloster Fahr" on September 24th, the residential project " experienceable " and the further development of agriculture and gastronomy were presented to the public in the Fahr monastery. According to a statement on kath.ch, a Christian communal "multi-generational living" is to be created in the former farmer's school. The residential project is being implemented by the Christian pension fund Prosperita as investor and builder. "We are very pleased to continue the realignment of the operations and buildings with a strong and trustworthy partner," said the prioress of the Fahr monastery , Irene Gassmann. “The monastery is a spiritual oasis. Everything that happens here should be based on Christian values,” the prioress continued. When the project was tendered, Prosperita was selected from among 26 projects submitted.

Fahr Erlebnis AG took over the agriculture of the Fahr monastery at the beginning of 2021. It will now become an organic farm. Fahr Erlebnis also runs the gastronomy in the Fahr Monastery. According to a report by the Catholic Media Center, the restaurant Zu den Zwei Raben is already being renovated. In April, the company opened the summer pub in the monastery.

The planning, clarification and building permit process for the redesign took around three years. For the conversion to communal multi-generational living, 16 residential units with one to six rooms will be installed in the former farmer's school. According to a statement on its website, the “erfahrbar” association is responsible for the right mix of tenants. The ecumenical community should be open to singles, couples, families, people of all ages and incomes and people of different nations.
