Säckingen Abbey
Säckingen Abbey was a house of noble canonesses on the Upper Rhine at Säckingen, in modern Baden-Württemberg, traditionally founded by the Irish missionary Saint Fridolin in the early Middle Ages. It held extensive lands, including the Linth valley of Glarus, whose administration passed to the Habsburgs as its advocates. The Glarners bought out its rights in 1395, and the abbey was dissolved in 1806.
