Guided Story

Can you feel the tranquility that fills the air here? Look around and let the clean, understated architecture sink in. Straight ahead, across the well-kept garden, you see the monastery's simple facade. It's fascinating to think this monastery was only founded in 1988, yet it embodies the medieval spirit of the Cistercians. The monks live by a centuries-old tradition focused on simplicity and harmony with nature. If you turn to your left, you'll notice St. Marien Pilgrimage Church just a stone's throw away. Both structures complement each other beautifully, with the monastery's modern spirituality and the church's historical charm. Enjoy the peace enveloping you, and let the atmosphere carry you away.
