Kappel am Albis

Kappel am Albis is a municipality in the district of Affoltern in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland.

Its name of Kappel (German: chapel) is specified by "on the Albis" to distinguish it from two other villages called Kappel in Switzerland.

The settlement was founded in 1185 as a Cistercian monastery which today houses a seminar centre "Haus der Stille und Besinnung" (House for Peace and Recoupment) and Der Alte Post (The Old Post Office) a fine restaurant indeed.

It was the location of the Wars of Kappel in 1529 and 1531, during the turmoils that accompanied the Reformation of Huldrych Zwingli. A monument to Zwingli is located nearby at the hamlet of Näfenhäuser and can be seen to the right of the road on the Kappel am Albis website picture at Näfenhäuser with Zwingli monument.
