Rüti Abbey
On 5 September 1439 Elisabeth von Mätsch instigated a parsonage for the purpose of a daily Mass to Friedrich's and her own salvation, and for this purpose she bequeathed the amount of 1,300 "Rheinische Gulden" in gold and precious gems with ornaments ("pretiosa ornamenta") to the Rüti Abbey. In the abbey 14 members of the Toggenburg family were buried in the so-called "Toggenburggruft", a burial vault, and Countess Elisabeth and Friedrich VII lived there before 1436, and probably Elisabeth in the late years of her exile. During her lifetime, Countess Elisabeth chose the priest who should hold the Mass in the new chapel ("capella nova in latere monasterii de novo construxit") of the monastery church. After her death, the foundation provided that the abbot and his convent hold a daily Mass and the usual periodicals, and that to the priest in charge was given board and lodge, as well as ten "Rheinische Gulden" at Christmas, financed by Elisabeth's foundation. The abbot of Einsiedeln had to pay attention to the fulfillment of these obligations and received in this way influence on the life of the Rüti Abbey respectively the convent had the hermit pin to pay fifty "Florins" for non-compliance.
