Guided tours

The buildings are grouped around a courtyard dominated by the church towers. On a guided tour led by a monk or a tour guide, you will get to know our church and parts of the monastery buildings in greater detail. You will learn more about the site’s history, which spans almost a thousand years, and how monastic life is practised here today. If you wish, you can explore the topics in greater depth during a discussion afterwards

A vibrant monastic community

Huysburg Abbey was founded in 1080/1084 as a Benedictine abbey and dissolved in 1804 following Prussia’s so-called secularisation. In 1972, under the responsibility of the Polish Abbey of Tyniec and with the support of the then Apostolic Administrator in Magdeburg, Bishop Johannes Braun, a Benedictine monastery was reopened at Huysburg.

Catholic parish

The Catholic parish of Huysburg has its roots in a centuries-old monastery and remains closely linked to Benedictine life to this day. As part of the parish of St Benedict in Huysburg, it serves as an important spiritual hub for Catholics in the region and, in a predominantly Protestant environment, provides a space for faith, community and fellowship.

Place of pilgrimage and hospitality

Huysburg is an important place of pilgrimage within the diocese, inviting people from near and far to reflect and pray. At the same time, it is a place where hospitality is put into practice, shaped by the Benedictine tradition, which welcomes every visitor. Whether pilgrims, guests or those seeking guidance, here people find space for silence, connection and a new sense of direction.

Information

Our guided tours usually last 60 minutes, but can be shortened or extended as required to best suit your needs. Depending on the composition of the group, the content can be individually tailored and adapted, ensuring that every tour is a personal and enriching experience. Whether for individuals, families or larger groups, we are happy to design the tour so that it is interesting and varied for all participants. There is no admission charge, but donations to support the monks’ pastoral work are warmly welcomed.
