What is the connection between the mill and Paradies monastery?
Klostergut Paradies began as a Clarissine convent, and the former mill district belonged to that historic estate. The name therefore refers to the monastery complex, not to a modern flour brand. [Klostergut history](https://www.klostergutparadies.ch/en/klostergut-paradies/history.html)
