Christ the King Priory, Benedictine monastery in Schuyler, United States.
Description
Christ the King Priory is a Benedictine monastery set into rolling hills in Schuyler, Nebraska, with dedicated spaces for prayer, community gatherings, and spiritual retreats. The complex integrates the buildings with the natural landscape and also provides services such as legal assistance for immigrants.
History
The priory was founded in 1935 when two monks arrived from Münsterschwarzach Abbey in Germany seeking refuge during political persecution in their homeland. This founding enabled the Benedictine community to continue and grow their work on new ground.
Culture
The community follows the Rule of Saint Benedict, which structures daily life around set prayer times. Visitors can observe this living spiritual practice as they move through the spaces.
Practical
The grounds are open for visitors who wish to participate in prayer times, counseling services, and spiritual programs. It is advisable to check in advance what activities are available and how to register in order to make the most of your visit.
Did you know?
The complex was designed by architect Neil Lamonte Astle, who created an unusual harmony between the building structures and the rolling hills. This design shows how religious spaces can be woven into the landscape rather than dominating it.
