Subiaco Abbey and Academy, Benedictine monastery and preparatory academy in Subiaco, Arkansas.
The abbey features sandstone buildings with Romanesque architecture, including a central church, educational facilities, and retreat accommodations spread across its hilltop location.
Founded in 1878 as St. Benedict's Colony to settle German-speaking immigrants, the institution received abbey status from Pope Leo XIII in 1891 and established its academy in 1902.
The monastery maintains traditional Benedictine practices while operating a college preparatory school that combines academic instruction with religious education and character development.
Visitors can take self-guided tours with information brochures or reserve monk-led group tours, with access to 36 guest rooms equipped with private bathrooms.
The abbey produces and sells distinctive items including monk-made peanut brittle, hot sauce, and candles through their on-site store.
