Information for Visitors

Visitors are welcome at Mepkin Abbey, which is privately owned and is home for Trappist monks. Living according to the Rule of St. Benedict, the monks offer hospitality to strangers. To maintain their lives of prayer, silence, privacy and solitude, the monks have a few important requests of all visitors:

Upon arrival, please check in at the Reception Center/Gift Shop.
Read and abide by all signs.
Only two roads are open to the public: the main road which runs from the entrance to the public gardens, and the road which leads to the Reception Center & Store. Please stay on these two roads.
Access to the Abbey church is by guided tour only. This access is limited because the church is in the monastic enclosure, the heart of the monastery.
No professional photography allowed.
No dogs allowed.
