Carmel de Marienthal

The Carmel de Marienthal is a Carmelite convent in Haguenau housing a religious community within its building complex. The monastery serves as a place of prayer and spiritual practice for those living within its walls.

The monastery was founded in 1887 when Sister Marguerite of the Blessed Sacrament returned to her hometown of Haguenau after her time with the Carmelite community in Amiens. Her dedication led to the establishment of this religious foundation.

The chapel displays paintings created by Joseph Asal between 1910 and 1919, incorporating artistic styles from religious movements of that era. These works shape the visual character of the prayer space that visitors see today.

Visitors can join the community for prayer times that begin in the morning and continue throughout the day. It is important to check current schedules and respect the guidelines of the monastic community.

The sisters support the church through administrative work, processing a significant number of documents each year while maintaining their spiritual routine. This involvement shows how monastic life also encompasses practical responsibilities for the broader community.
