Interlaken Abbey was a convent of the Augustinian Canons from about 1133 until 1528 in the municipality of Interlaken in the Canton of Bern in Switzerland. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.^[1]

History

The provost of the Abbey was first mentioned in 1133 when Holy Roman Emperor Lothair took the Abbey, founded by Baron Seliger of Oberhofen, under his protection. The Abbey was part of the diocese of Lausanne. During the 12th century the provosts were confirmed by the bishop as well as by the pope.^[2]
