High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rheinau Abbey (Kloster Rheinau) was a Benedictine monastery in Rheinau in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, founded in about 778 and suppressed in 1862. The foundation of the abbey, on a strategically sheltered bend of the Rhine, is supposed to have taken place in about 778. The abbey is first documented however in the 11th century. In 1114 a Romanesque basilica was dedicated here and in 1120 the still extant archive begun. The early history of the abbey, like that of many others, consists of an alternation between generous endowments and privileges from the Holy Roman Emperors, and oppression and fraud from the "Vogte" (lords protector). In 1126 Count Rudolf of Lenzburg founded the adjoining settlement of Rheinau.
