    The monastery is home to the Norbertgymnasium NGK, a Catholic school where prayers are still held in the morning. Both Christian denominations are taught here. Outside the monastery walls there is the Klosterhof pub, where the infamous Knechtstedener Schwarzbier is served. The monastery also hosts concerts, which are very popular.

    Knechtsteden Monastery is a former Premonstratensian abbey from the early 12th century, which has been in the possession of the Spiritan Order since 1896.
    The Catholic Norbert grammar school and a restaurant are also located on the monastery grounds. The monastery is located in a local recreation and nature reserve.


    The Fronhof Knechtsteden was given to the Premonstratensian Order in 1130. That was the cornerstone for the foundation of the monastery. Much more about the history here: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloster_Knechtsteden
