Abbey of St. Maurice

For centuries, the St. Maurice Monastery was a stop for pilgrims and travellers on their way to Great St. Bernard. The old abbey treasury houses one of the most important collections of sacred gold work in the world, including several medieval masterpieces such as the great St. Maurice reliquary and the reliquary belonging to the children of St. Sigismond (this dates back to the 12th century). The treasury contains not only historical items, but also priceless local religious and cultural relics.
