Guided tour of Oelenberg Abbey

In Reiningue, near Mulhouse, Oelenberg Abbey invites you to a unique discovery of one of Alsace’s oldest monasteries. Founded in 1046, this serene Trappist abbey reveals its hidden treasures to the public for the first time.

For 2h30, let us guide you through the emblematic sites of monastic life: the abbey church, the cloister courtyard, the chapel of Saint-Léon IX and other spaces usually inaccessible.
