Lichtenthal Abbey • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to Lichtenthal Abbey, a serene sanctuary that has stood as a beacon of peace for more than seven hundred and seventy-five years. You are standing at the edge of the famous Lichtentaler Allee, where the gentle waters of the Oos river flow past these ancient walls. This location, known in Latin as Lucida Valle or the Valley of Light, is not just a historical monument; it is a living Cistercian nunnery where the rhythms of prayer and work have remained unbroken since the year twelve hundred and forty-five. As you walk through the imposing gateway built in seventeen hundred and eighty-one, you are stepping into a courtyard that has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, yet remained a constant home for women dedicated to spiritual life. Take a deep breath and feel the transition from the bustling resort atmosphere of Baden-Baden into the timeless quiet of this sacred space.
