Your Journey to inner Growth
Experience the Ancient Tradition of Monastic Life in a cistercian convent in Germany
The liturgy of the hours is an essential part of every monastic experience. We believe that prayer is a central and powerful aspect of the Christian life, and we structure our activities around the traditional liturgical prayers of the Church. We will help you learn more about the history and practice of liturgical prayer, as well as provide guidance for personal prayer and contemplation. With a focus on silence and reflection, you will have ample time and space to deepen your relationship with Christ.

Cistercian life
Cistercian Life is about finding balance between dedicated prayer and meaningful work. We believe in serving others and loving our fellow humans, just as we learn from our efforts to educate children through our apostolate schools. We live by the Rule of St. Benedict, which encourages us to approach our spiritual lives with simplicity and humility as we seek a deeper connection with God.
