“Let those whom the providence of God has led to the monastery be received by the sisters with reverence and kindness.”
(from our Order’s Constitutions)
Anybody wishing to spend a few days of silence and contemplation is very welcome to stay at our guesthouse.
Our guesthouse focuses on personal retreat or reflection. We do not merely wish to offer merely accommodation. Rather, we encourage our guests to take part in our liturgical prayer.
The monastery is surrounded by forests and farmland, which are very good for walking and cycling. In a small library, books on spirituality, prayer and spiritual life are available.
