St. Benedictusberg Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Mamelis, Netherlands.
The monastery features a modernist architectural design with clean lines and geometric shapes, situated on a hill overlooking the Limburgian countryside.
Founded in 1922 during a period of religious migration, the monastery emerged from German Benedictine monks seeking refuge from the Kulturkampf restrictions.
The monastery maintains daily services in Latin with Gregorian chants performed by the resident monks, following traditional Benedictine practices.
Visitors can attend religious services in the church, which was completed in 1962 and showcases the architectural work of Hans van der Laan.
The monastery houses 17 permanent monks and 60 oblates who dedicate their lives to prayer, work, and the preservation of Gregorian musical traditions.
