Königsmünster Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Meschede, Germany
The monastery features a central church with modern architecture, metalwork studios, retreat houses, and educational facilities across its hilltop location.
The abbey opened in 1928 through support from three Bavarian monasteries, and faced temporary closure in 1941 during National Socialist rule.
The monastery maintains a metalwork shop producing religious items such as altars, crosses, and candlesticks while operating a secondary school for local students.
The abbey provides accommodation for spiritual retreats and maintains a store selling products manufactured within its workshops, including chocolate and jewelry.
The community of 48 monks combines traditional Benedictine practices with mission work as part of the Congregation of Saint Ottilien.
