Redemptoristenkloster Heiligenborn, Religious monastery in Bous, Germany
The Redemptoristenkloster Heiligenborn is a monastery complex situated above the Saar River, containing a church built in 1952 with distinctive architectural features designed by György Lehoczky. The complex comprises several connected buildings arranged around the main church structure.
The monastery was founded in 1949 in a former Hitler Youth building and adapted for religious purposes by the Redemptorists. It became an important regional center for religious education and pastoral work throughout the Saarland area.
The monastery served as a gathering place where visitors could attend organ concerts and participate in meditation courses until its closure in 2009. Music and spiritual practice were central to how people experienced this place.
The monastery is located on Klosterweg in Bous and can be reached by the road leading to the complex. Since the property has been privately owned since 2017, it is best to inquire in advance about possible visits or viewing arrangements.
The name Heiligenborn comes from a legend about an early Christian missionary who lived as a hermit near a natural spring in this location. This historical story has shaped the identity of the place over time.
