The Saarn Monastery no longer offers shelter to monks and nuns but opens its doors to anyone who is interested. In the cellar vaults history is presented to touch, while outdoors it is more contemplative. Here you can recreate how the medieval monastery garden looked like or do the same to the bee colonies living here and enjoy the numerous flowers and herbs that grow here. Distributed over the summer numerous events take place in the monastery, a look at the homepage worth: museum-kloster-saarn.de

Saarn Monastery was founded as the Mariensaal Monastery (Aula sanctae Mariae probably in 1214 together with the later Eppinghoven Monastery near Kaarst, which was also referred to as the Mariensaal), initially as a double monastery.

Funny and that's what you think about the least ... Kloster Saarn has a special beekeeping:

Especially in the current time around the bees discussion interesting and something quite different with a highlight
