Güigüe Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Güigüe, Venezuela.
The abbey rises near Lake Valencia, featuring traditional monastic architecture with stone walls and a central courtyard surrounded by living quarters.
Following its establishment in Caracas after World War I, the monastic community relocated to Güigüe in 1990 due to urban expansion.
The monastery maintains Benedictine traditions through daily prayer schedules, agricultural work, and spiritual guidance for the local community.
Visitors can reach the abbey by taking the Valencia-Güigüe road, with guided tours available through advance reservation with the monastery office.
The monastery generates income through agricultural activities while offering retreats overlooking Lake Valencia's southern shores.
