The amazing Carthusian Cows of Switzerland

July 8, 2017July 1, 2017kenritley

It’s impossible to take a bad picture of a good cow!

These cows are just outside a former Carthusian Monastery located in the North Swiss countryside near Ittingen:

The Carthusian Order is the strictest of all the Catholic monastic orders, so it’s only fitting that these cows lead lives of quiet contemplation.

Interesting things, Swiss and Switzerland
