Karmelitenkloster Kreuznach

The monastery stands in Sankt Katharinen, a municipality in the Bad Kreuznach district, where religious traditions remain an essential part of local life.

Founded by Cistercian nuns from Kumbd Abbey in the early 13th century, the monastery operated continuously until its dissolution by the Electorate of the Palatinate in 1574.

The monastery's influence extends through the region's naming conventions, as evidenced by Sankt Katharinen's name originating from the religious establishment.

The monastery location offers convenient access to major transport routes, including Bundesstraße 41 and local Kreisstraßen connecting to Bad Kreuznach.

The surrounding area features extensive vineyards that contribute to the regional wine production, while maintaining its religious and historical character.
