Benedictine Abbey of Steinfeld

Benedictine Abbey of Steinfeld, Benedictine monastery in Kall, Germany.

The Benedictine Abbey of Steinfeld is a former monastery in the Steinfeld district of Kall, next to the Salvatorian monastery. Its core is Haus Albermann, a 19th-century country house with a park, rebuilt as a convent by architect Emil Steffann in 1958–1959 and extended with an abbey church. A guesthouse designed by Gisberth Hülsmann was inaugurated in 1986.

The abbey was founded in 1955 by German sisters from the Benedictine priory of Notre-Dame in Ermeton-sur-Biert, Belgium, after five sisters had lived in Hollerath from 1951. In 1954 they bought Haus Albermann, a 19th-century country house with a park in Kall-Steinfeld, converted into a monastery with a church by architect Emil Steffann in 1958/1959. It became an independent priory in 1969 and was raised to an abbey in 1972.

The abbey belonged to the European Benedictine Congregation of the Resurrection, and its spirituality drew on Eugène Vandeur, a monk of Maredsous who wanted lay people to take part in monastic liturgy. The sisters made candles and incense in their workshops and offered retreats and faith seminars in the guesthouse. Since 2022 the Trappistine nuns of Maria Frieden live here in strict enclosure, so the guest area is no longer run by them.

The former guest house, built to plans by architect Gisberth Hülsmann and inaugurated in 1986, passed on 1 July 2019 to the Kloster Steinfeld GmbH & Co. KG of the neighbouring Salvatorian monastery and now runs as Haus St. Benedikt. The Trappist nuns of Maria Frieden, who moved in during June 2022, live in strict enclosure, so their guest area is not continued by them.

The guesthouse, built to plans by architect Gisberth Hülsmann, opened in 1986; from 1 July 2019 the neighbouring Salvatorian monastery's Kloster Steinfeld GmbH & Co. KG took it over as "Haus St. Benedikt".
