St. Paul's Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Andover Township, New Jersey
The monastery building features Roman arch windows, red front doors, and multiple floors containing small bedrooms, communal spaces, chapels, and a kitchen area.
Founded in 1924 by Father Michael Heinlein, the abbey grew from a mission procure to house 60 monks by mid-20th century before declining after Vatican II reforms.
The monastery maintains Benedictine traditions through daily prayer services, agricultural work, and educational programs while serving the surrounding community through parish assistance.
Located at 289 U.S. Route 206, the property awaits transformation into 77 affordable housing units, pending approval for a 5-million-dollar sewer treatment system.
In 2002, Korean monks from Waegwan Abbey assumed leadership of the monastery, establishing an international connection within American Benedictine communities.
