OELENBERG ABBEY

Abbey monastery and convent
Closed - Open to 10h00

Founded in 1046, it was originally a monastery of regular canons of Saint Augustine. Located on one of the last hills of the Sundgau, the building has had a turbulent history and has been partially destroyed several times. During the Revolution, the abbey was sold and it was in 1825 that Trappist monks settled there. They still live according to the Cistercian rule of poverty. The monastic shop sells flour and pasta produced at the Oelenberg mill. They also welcome the faithful for spiritual retreats.
