    The Säben Monastery, which has existed since the end of the 17th century, is a Benedictine abbey on the Säbener Berg in South Tyrol. Säben (Latin Sabiona), located on the sacred mountain above Klausen, was populated already in the Neolithic period. At the site of the present monastery was a late Roman settlement, which soon developed into an early Christian center: From the 6th century to about 960 there was a bishop's seat, including the built in the early 5th century and excavated church in the vineyard belonged.

      Only the churches and the monastery courtyard can be visited. The six nuns who still live here live a very secluded life in cloister, but take in pilgrims in the guest house. Very nice view over Klausen and the Eisacktal.
