Mariastern Abbey, Trappist monastery in Delibašino Selo, Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Mariastern Abbey includes the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and monastery buildings situated near the Vrbas River.
Franz Pfanner established the abbey in 1869, purchasing land in Delibašino Selo after unsuccessful attempts to create a Trappist monastery in other regions.
The monastery reached its peak in 1910 with 219 monks, making it the largest Trappist monastery worldwide at that time.
The monastery shop sells traditional products including Trappist cheese, wines, beers, and liquors produced by the resident monks.
Electric lighting appeared in the monastery in 1899, preceding the electrification of most buildings in the city of Banja Luka.
