Emmaus

Emmaus monastery in Bommerig is a religious complex featuring traditional Dutch architecture set on the Vijlen plateau. The site provides accommodation facilities for visitors interested in spiritual retreats.

The monastery was established in 1904 and grew into an important religious center in the region. Its designation as a Rijksmonument in 2000 recognized its significance to Dutch national heritage.

The monastery serves as a spiritual retreat where visitors come to step away from daily life and find quiet reflection. The community of monks shapes the rhythm of the place through their daily prayers and work.

Visitors should contact the monastery administration in advance to arrange accommodation and details of their stay. The grounds are located in a quiet rural area and are best reached by personal transport.

The monastery sits on the Vijlen plateau, a distinctive geological formation with its own landscape character in Limburg's border region. This elevated position gives visitors a different perspective on the surrounding countryside.
