When visiting the Paradies Convent (see separate entry), four kilometres southeast of Schsaffhausen, do not miss the restored convent church, a monument of national importance. It was built in 1587 and, until the convent was closed in 1836, was used by both the nuns and local inhabitants. In accordance with Franciscan building principles at the time, the design was simple and the church has only a ridge turret, no tower being permitted. The interior is baroque with stucco ceilings and frescos. Various types of concert take place throughout the year, organised by the ‘Verein der Freunde der Klosterkirche Paradies’.
