Nature and culture, history and security: Steinfeld Monastery and Schmidtheim Castle in the Eifel region have developed over the last few decades into modern meeting places and retreats for people who want to take time out. Time for a creative break, a contemplative time-out or the conscious perception of nature. Time for yourself. The historic buildings form a refuge and backdrop for yoga retreats and meditation, drawing and painting courses, herbal walks and forest bathing, among other things.
Steinfeld Monastery in the northern Eifel region is a monastery that lives entirely in the here and now. Founded more than 900 years ago, the Salvatorian order still lives the Christian faith here today, while also running the Steinfeld Monastery Academy and looking after the preservation of the historic buildings. The monastery complex, whose origins date back as far as 920, is considered one of the best-preserved monastic monuments in the Rhineland. In addition to the historic monastery church and today's basilica, the ensemble of buildings also includes a grammar school and a small hotel with four rooms. The academy's seminar programme is also quite secular. They range from Qigong and meditation courses to hiking, archery, photography and voice training.
