Abbaye de l'Ascension de Danyi-Dzogbegan, Benedictine monastery in Danyi Apéyemé, Togo.

The monastery stands at an altitude of 800 meters in the Danyi mountains, surrounded by coffee plantations and pineapple fields.

The abbey was founded in 1963 through the initiative of Sainte Scholastique de Dourgne Abbey in France, following a request from Monseigneur Stremler.

The monastic community consists of 32 nuns and 3 postulants who maintain Benedictine traditions through regular liturgical hours and local food production.

Visitors seeking accommodation at the monastery should make advance reservations and can contact the abbey through their office at B.P. 11 DANYI-APEYEME.

The temperature in this mountain region drops to 14 degrees Celsius during harmattan season between November and January, creating distinct climate conditions.
