Steinfeld Basilica was probably founded around 920 by Count Sybodo from the Ahrgau. A first monastery foundation as a Benedictine monastery is mentioned around 1069. The order of the Premonstratensians was established between 1126 and 1135.
The Salvatorians have lived and worked in this place since 1923.
Steinfeld Monastery is one of the best-preserved baroque monastery complexes in Germany.
Today, within its monastery walls, you will find the monastic community of the Salvatorians, a 4-star hotel, a monastery café, a multiple award-winning grammar school, an academy, the famous Steinfeld Basilica with its equally famous organ, the tomb of St. Hermann Josef, a labyrinth of contemplation and faith, and many more surprises.
