Kloster Helgoland, Franciscan monastery in Mayen, Germany
The monastery complex contains multiple buildings situated on a 57,000 square meter property near the center of Mayen in Rhineland-Palatinate.
The Franciscan Sisters of the Holy Family established Kloster Helgoland in 1922 after their relocation from Belgium, with consecration following in September 1923.
The monastery served as a center for prayer gatherings and reflection days organized by the Kolping Association of the Diocese of Trier for over two decades.
The monastery closed in 2010 due to aging population of sisters, with the remaining eight sisters relocating to senior facilities in Polch and Aachen.
The monastery received its name from a former restaurant called Helgoland that previously operated on the property before the sisters acquired it.
