Reichenstein Monastery
Reichenstein Monastery, Premonstratensian monastery in Monschau, Germany.
The monastery complex incorporates religious architecture with stone walls, courtyards, and multiple buildings arranged according to monastic traditions of the Premonstratensian order.
Founded between 1131 and 1136, the monastery functioned as a double monastery for Premonstratensians until changes occurred during the Reformation and Napoleonic periods.
The monastery maintains religious practices while providing educational programs about monasticism and the historical influence of religious orders in European development.
Visitors can access the monastery grounds through guided tours, with opportunities to examine the architectural elements and learn about monastic life throughout different periods.
The monastery underwent transformation in 2008 when construction began to accommodate members of the Benedictine community, adding a new chapter to its religious purpose.
