Mount Carmel Monastery
Mount Carmel Monastery, Carmelite monastery in Port Tobacco, Maryland, United States.
The monastery features a two-story frame house with a gable roof, two main sections, and architectural elements that emphasize functionality over decoration.
Four English-speaking Carmelite nuns from Belgium established the first Catholic convent for religious women in the United States at this location in 1790.
The monastery maintains traditional Carmelite practices, where sisters dedicate their lives to prayer and contemplation in accordance with the order's spiritual principles.
Located north of Port Tobacco on Mount Carmel Road, the monastery includes an accessible chapel and outdoor spaces for visitors during regular hours.
The property received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, marking its role as the first Carmelite monastery in America.
