Tips

Unfortunately, Mariwawald Monastery will be closed during the year 2018. The ten monks who live here are now very old and can not operate the monastery without support. In addition, the monastery does not generate enough money to finance the monastery. At the moment there is still discussion about a continued use of the buildings. It is hoped that it will continue to be a spiritual place that honors the centuries-old tradition.

The abbey itself is a monastery among many, the pea soup delicious.
In the monastery shop, there are so many, albeit not very cheap things to buy such as four different types of beer, one of which is made according to its own recipe by the Bitburger brewery exclusively for the abbey.
Although the abbey will soon be closed, the restaurant and the monastery shop will be continued.

Good opportunity for a break with a very good pea soup.
