Rüti Abbey
Friedrich VII was later buried in a chapel, the so-called "Toggenburger Kapelle" ("capella nova in latere monasterii de novo construxit") given by his noble wife, Elisabeth Countess of Toggenburg, née von Mätsch. Elisabeth spent her last days in the Rüti Abbey, writing on 20 June 1442 that she had retreated there ("unser wesen gentzlich in dasselbe gotzhus got zuo dienende gezogen habe") and desired her tomb to be with her husband's. On 11 June 1443 marauding troops of the Old Swiss Confederacy devastated the monastery and desecrated the bodies of the nobles, including Count Friedrich VII whom they held responsible for the war with Zürich. 14 members of the family were buried in the Toggenburg vault in the church of the Rüti Abbey.
