St. Michael's Abbey, Norbertine monastery in Silverado Canyon, California.
The abbey spans 40 acres within a 327-acre property, featuring a church, monastery, administrative building, and a 108-foot bell tower.
Seven Norbertine priests from Hungary established St. Michael's Abbey in 1961 after escaping Communist persecution in their homeland.
The Norbertine community maintains daily liturgical prayer schedules, combining monastic traditions with active priestly ministry and educational programs.
The abbey welcomes visitors Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM, offering opportunities for prayer and spiritual guidance.
A crypt beneath the church contains burial vaults for abbots, while the monastery preserves historical documents in dedicated archival spaces.
