Kloster Gut Reichenstein is a Benedictine monastery in the Kalterherberg district of Monschau, in the Eifel, since 2017. In the 12th century there was a Premonstratensian monastery on the site of an 11th century hill castle. After its closure as a result of French secularization, Gut Reichenstein passed into private hands. In 2008, the French Abbey of Notre-Dame de Bellaigue, which is close to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X, acquired the buildings to establish a Benedictine monastery there. Kloster Gut Reichenstein is entirely Monasterium Immaculati Cordis Mariae Reichsteri.

The former Premonstratensian monastery from the 12th century is located in the Eifel landscape, in the middle of the High Fens nature park, directly on the German-Belgian border. Only the former priory, the monastery chapel and the farm wing behind the chapel have survived from the time of the monastery. The other buildings around the farmyard date from the 19th century.

The monastery cannot be visited at the moment. It is interesting, however, that it has only recently become a monastery again.
