As a spiritual center, the Benedictine monastery of Engelberg is available to church groups and institutions. Its venerable rooms have retained an aura of the spiritual life of past centuries. The spiritual atmosphere, steeped in history, inspires creative ideas for training courses, parish weekends and retreats. A contemporary meal plan rounds off one’s stay in the Benedictine monastery of Engelberg.
