How to reach us
History
Before over 90 years the Sisters of the Steyler Missionary Society renovated a former farmhouse into a guesthouse. Over the years the guesthouse has been further renovated and extended. Since 2013 the guesthouse has been managed by the St. Elizabeth Missionary Society which belongs to the Franciscan Sisters of Reute, providing this place with hospitality and spirituality. The parton of our guesthaus is the Holy Theresia of Lisieux“.

Very personnel memories
Memories of the Theresienheim Nunnery Moos from Ms. Christa Ihn
The beginning of the „Era Moos“ in my life:
Some time ago I was on holiday on Lake Constance. There is a „Nunnery Moos“ Earlier it was an old peoples home, the people were cared for by the Sisters of the Steyler Mission. A short time afterwards the house was partly rebuilt and renovated to accomodate families who wished to holiday in the area. The catering is excellent, bathing possibilities exist on the banks of Lake Constance and the prices are extremely reasonable. That would be something for everyone, just try it sometime.
Living inclusion
We are an integrative business, we help old people and people with disabilities. We are there to help when people need it. In 1999 the Franciscan sisters from Reute founded the St. Elisabeth foundation, who left their mark with their charitable work 150 years ago in Upper-Suebian.
Our heart,
the foundation
