Kloster der Karmelitinnen Witten

The monastery stands on a hillside of the Ardey Mountains, featuring a church building and residential quarters for the Discalced Carmelite nuns.

Founded in 1933 near Breslau, the monastery relocated to Witten in 1954 after the nuns fled westward following the Nazi confiscation of their original site.

The nuns maintain a regulated daily schedule that includes Holy Mass participation, two hours of inner prayer, choir gatherings, and spiritual reading sessions.

Visitors can access the monastery at Auf der Klippe 18-20 during weekday hours from 9:00 to 11:00 and 15:00 to 16:30 for prayer and contemplation.

The monastery generates income through its host bakery, where the nuns produce communion wafers for religious services.
