Karmeliterkloster Marienthal

The Karmeliterkloster Marienthal monastery stands in a rural setting, featuring traditional monastic architecture with contemplative spaces and enclosed gardens.

Founded in 1258 by Augustinian hermits, the monastery transformed into a Carmelite community in 1986, maintaining its religious significance through centuries.

The monastery functions as an educational center where visitors participate in workshops focused on spirituality, literature, and artistic expression.

Regular guided tours provide access to the monastery grounds, offering information about religious services, retreat programs, and community activities.

The monastery serves as both an active Carmelite community and an architectural heritage monument, preserving centuries of religious traditions in North Rhine-Westphalia.
