Gerleve Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Billerbeck, Germany.
The monastic complex features neo-Romanesque architecture with a central abbey church, multiple guest houses, and extensive grounds in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Founded in 1899 on Hof Wermelt farmland, the monastery faced expulsion during World War II when National Socialists forced monks to leave in 1941.
The monastery maintains Gregorian chant traditions through daily services and hosts educational programs through Forum Gerleve with public lectures and concerts.
The monastery offers accommodation in Haus Ludgerirast and Haus St. Benedikt, while operating a temporary Pop-Up-Café during renovations until Easter 2025.
The abbey produces specialty items including Gerlever herbal liqueurs, monastery honey, and Gerleve Sauerbraten, available in their Klostershop.
