Hospitality


Any seeking person who wants to live on the rhythm of the community for some days, is welcome to our abbey.
The guests are invited together with the brothers to turn their heart's eye to God, who lives covertly ...


Let all guests who arrive be received like Christ, for he is going to say: "I came as a guest, and you received me." (Matt. 25,35) (RB 53)

Let those whom the providence of God has led to the monastery be received by the brothers with reverence and kindness. (Constitution 30)
