Kloster Gnadental, Cistercian monastery in Neuss, Germany.
The monastery complex includes seminar facilities, guest houses, ecological farming operations, a monastery shop, and a café within historical buildings.
Founded in the second quarter of the 13th century, the monastery operated until 1802 when French forces led to its dissolution and subsequent partial demolition.
The monastery church hosts daily prayer services three times a day, incorporating traditions from different ecclesiastical backgrounds in the modern religious community.
Visitors can explore the monastery shop, participate in cultural events, or book accommodations in the retreat house for personal reflection.
The former Cistercian nunnery now functions as the center of the Ecumenical Community of Jesus Brotherhood, with 16 sisters and 12 brothers living in celibacy.
