Abbaye de Kreitz, Benedictine abbey in Holzheim, Germany
The monastery compound includes a neuromanesque church, guest facilities, and living quarters for the Benedictine nuns near the A46 highway.
In May 1943, an American bombing raid severely damaged the monastery, resulting in the deaths of 23 sisters among the 60 residents.
The Benedictine nuns follow the guidelines of Benedict of Nursia, dedicating their lives to prayer, work, silence, and meditation.
The monastery maintains its operations through the production of communion wafers, which serves as the primary source of income for the religious community.
The monastery church underwent modifications in 1972 when its apse was removed to accommodate the construction of the adjacent A46 motorway.
