A monastery stood here from the 11th century. The Carthusian Order took the house in 1461 and held it until 1848, after which the Fehr family farmed the estate. In 1977 the Kartause Ittingen Foundation bought the monument and turned it into a cultural center and social-enterprise hotel: 68 rooms, a church, Kunstmuseum Thurgau, a farm, a winery, a brewery, a wood-fired bakery, and Switzerland's largest rose garden. Restaurant Mühle cooks from the grounds.
