A place of Work

As every man, the monk has to earn his bread. The cistercian tradition has always required that the monk works with his hands.

"The work, especially manual work, gives the monks the opportunity to participate to the divine work of creation and redemption and walk on the tracks of Jesus Christ; il has always enjoyed a particular esteem within the cistercian tradition. This hard and redemptive work provides for the brethren and other people's needs, especially to the poors, and shows the monks solidarity with the crowd of the workers."
Constitutions of our Order


As a normal part of monastic life, work is lived in a silence full of the presence of God, and in the joy of the service for God and the brethren.

At the Oelenberg Abbey, on the top of farming activities (vegetable garden, orchard, wheat, corn and potatoes cultivations), we have a mill which produces a highly appreciated flour. WarenangebotOur monastic craft industry produces pasta as well as cookies, cakes, meringues... All the products are for sale retail in our monastic shop with a number of products from other monasteries.
