Himmerod Abbey


In the center of the Eifel region, we find this restored Monastery that dates back hundreds of years. It was destroyed during the 1800s and restored after WW II.








The chapel is a quiet place to meditate and pray. Occasionally there are organ concerts.






The dark, detailed woodwork is very beautiful.


There is an apple orchard with benches. We like to come on Sunday afternoon


The monks raise and sell smoke fish, and also have a vineyard which produces a fine wine. They also have a bookstore, a museum and a restaurant.
