Beautiful grounds and buildings. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and willing to answer any questions we had. Definitely worth stopping in and visiting the grounds and the sanctuary.

Absolutely beautiful! Such a spiritual experience and a prime picture of western architecture. The sisters were lovely and I’d recommend going on the tour!

Not in the church sanctuary. That's for worship only. But they do reside on the grounds of the St. Benedict Monastery.

When was it built

Todd Berry | Aug 7, 2019

1883 - 1887. There was an addition of the Romanesque chapel in 1915. The hall leading to the church itself and the sanctuary are gorgeous. Also, check out the gift shop and the brewery!

Can I get mass cards in gift shop or another area? And what time is it open? Thank you

Cassandra Novotny | Aug 6, 2019
Ernest Kovach | Aug 7, 2019

I do not think so. The gift shop sells their famous cookies which tastes like those delicious Windmill cookies, chocolates made from other monasteries including one in Massachusetts, religious statues, books, and other handicrafts. Across the way is their own on site brewery, which also sell a a flavorful non alcoholic root beer, home made pretzels and fantastic pizza!
