Gates of heaven retreat center - reflection and contemplation

Wonderfully situated among vineyards on the banks of the river Main, the former Cistercian convent continues to be a welcoming place that conveys some of the beauty of heaven. Renovated with great sensitivity, this spiritual centre of the local Roman Catholic diocese serves as a retreat venue and a central conference centre for numerous nationwide committees and the German Conference of Roman Catholic Bishops.
