Time for Silence & Time in Zen

For more than 29 years the laity monastery ZENKLAUSEN invites cordially for meditation, contemplation and silence. Here you can still experience and enjoy nature as a teacher in the constant change of life, which accompanies you in all its beauty and mysticism.

Uniqueness & Variety

The uniqueness of the Zenklausen is that we only accept a small number of guests (max 8 guests) per day. Each guest moves into their own hermitage of approx. 45m2. Double hermitages are only given to guests who know each other. All hermitages are lovingly equipped with a small kitchen, a dining area, a cozy bedroom & living room, a meditation area, fireplace, bathroom with toilet & shower, and a small garden. There is a distance of about 8-14 meters between the hermitages. In this way we want not only protect the health of our guests, but also the peace and privacy for every single visitor during their retreat. You can find more information about these under our "ZEN-Stay" link.

History & Future

Mienh Adelheid (1939 - 2019) & Mienh Judith (1938 - 2020) founded the non-denominational lay monastery ZENKLAUSEN in 1992 in the Eifel. With years of Zen experience, they have guided and accompanied many people in their lives, guiding them on their way to the silence, calm and spiritual leisure of Zen. Based on their founding idea and guidelines, a wonderful oasis of calm and leisure was created for personal and individual retreat from the hectic pace of everyday life.
