The abbey is the largest monastery complex in the Netherlands. Well maintained and always worth a stop.

If the opportunity arises, the crypt should be visited. This is worth seeing.

Winemaking in Rolduc has a long tradition dating back to the 12th century. In 1106, Embrico von Mayschoss and his family, along with his property, joined the fledgling monastic community. His property also included vineyards in Mayschoss in the Ahr Valley. The yields from these vineyards provided important income for the abbey. A vineyard was also established at the abbey in the 12th century, but it was abandoned during the French period. The abbey also lost its vineyards on the Ahr River during this period.

The winemaking tradition was revived in 1999 during the preparations for the 900th anniversary in 2004. A vineyard was planted in a forest clearing on the east side of the abbey, next to a south-facing grove. On April 26, 2013, Rolduc's second vineyard – the Ailbertus vineyard – was officially inaugurated with the planting of the last vines. The new vineyard is located within the walled monastery garden.
The vineyards are tended by the "Winzern von Rode," an association of volunteers whose members grow wine on a voluntary basis. The Regent grapes are pressed and bottled in close cooperation with the Mayschoss wine cooperative.
