Mariawald Abbey, Trappist monastery in Heimbach, Germany
The monastery stands on a forested hill in the Kermeter area, surrounded by the Eifel National Park at 450 meters above sea level.
Founded in 1486 as a Cistercian priory after Heinrich Fluitter built a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary following his religious vision in 1470.
The monastery maintains a collection of religious artifacts and manuscripts dating from the 15th century, displayed in its museum section.
Visitors can join guided tours of the former cloister area every Wednesday and Thursday at 12:30, with an admission fee of 8 euros per adult.
The monastery produced its own beer until 1956 when water supply limitations forced the closure of its centuries-old brewing operation.
