The Prince-Abbacy of Inselwald is a miniature principality founded on January 6, 2019 by the Ancient and Venerable Order of Huntsmen.
The Order founded the Prince-Abbacy of Inselwald as a sovereign and independent polity in which to base the Order's second pillar, a collegiate foundation of Christian lay canons and canonesses called "The Noble Chapter of Ladies and Gentlemen of the Grand Hunt."
Whereas the Order's first pillar, the Grand Lodge of Tartannac, is a secular community dedicated to various fraternal principles and activities, the Noble Chapter of Ladies and Gentlemen of the Grand Hunt was established as a uniquely Christian fraternal society.
The Prince-Abbacy of Inselwald is necessarily, therefore, a Christian monarchy. It is ruled by the lay abbot of the Noble Chapter, who is, ex-officio, the sovereign and head of state of Inselwald, bearing the title "Prince-Abbot."
The Prince-Abbacy of Inselwald exists primarily for the purposes of the Order, and for the liberty of the Chapter. It is, nevertheless, a sovereign micro-state in its own right, and it does welcome as citizens persons who are not of the Order or the Chapter but who nevertheless find themselves drawn to the idea of a state governed according to Christian precepts and to the charm of its old world culture.
"Inselwald" is a German word which translates to "Island Forest." The name was chosen by the first and current Prince-Abbot and was inspired by the place of his residence.
