Marienthal monastery, Monastery complex in Helperknapp, Luxembourg.

The monastery encompasses multiple buildings situated in the Eisch river valley, constructed at an altitude of 236 meters northeast of Ansembourg.

Founded in 1258 by Prioress Yolanda of Vianden, Dominican nuns from Strasbourg established a religious center that operated until its closure in 1783.

The selection of the monastery location stems from the discovery of a stone statue of the Virgin Mary within a tree trunk.

The guided tours of the monastery last between 60 to 90 minutes, with prices starting at 100 euros for individual visitors and 85 euros for groups.

In 1974, the Luxembourg government transformed the monastery into a youth service center, preserving its educational function through a modern adaptation.
