Egely Monastery

Egely Monastery is a Buddhist retreat center located on the Danish island of Bornholm, offering spaces designed for meditation and spiritual practice. The facility combines traditional Buddhist design principles with Northern European architecture to support various contemplative activities.

The monastery was founded in 2015, introducing Buddhist teachings and practices to the Danish island. Since its establishment, it has become an established part of the local spiritual landscape.

The monastery functions as a gathering space where visitors can observe and participate in meditation sessions and spiritual practices rooted in Buddhist traditions. It has become a meeting point for those exploring these teachings in a local Danish context.

The monastery welcomes visitors interested in participating in meditation sessions and spiritual programs, with advance registration recommended for group activities. Clear pathways and accessible facilities make it straightforward to navigate the grounds.

The monastery blends Scandinavian design elements with Buddhist architectural traditions, creating an unexpected spiritual space in Northern Europe. This fusion of Northern and Asian influences makes it distinctly different from monasteries found elsewhere.
