Location; Mt Angel, Oregon.

In 1882 a small group of Benedictine monks arrived in Oregon to found an abbey similar to the one they had left behind high in the Alpine village of Engelberg, Switzerland. It was built on top of a small mountain and it's beautiful. Another view in comments

The Monastery

Mount Angel Abbey is a community of Benedictine Monks founded in 1882 from the Abbey of Engelberg in Switzerland. We maintain a monastic tradition that has been a vital part of the Roman Catholic Church for more than 1500 years. Responding to God's call to holiness and preferring nothing whatever to Christ, we dedicate ourselves, under a Rule and an abbot to a life of prayer and work. We strive to support one another in community, to serve God, the Church, and the larger society. We do this as we celebrate the Holy Eucharist together, pray the Liturgy of the Hours five times daily in choir, and devote ourselves to reading and silence.

  Very Interesting 12 yrs of Catholic school so I'm Familiar w/Monk's Abby's and whatever else.

Think it VERY INTERESTING that MONK's were a driving force in BEER BREWING & The Strict German
brewing codes that still impact todays BREWING in Germany.

Bottom's Up

  Your wonderful second shot shows in a very inviting way what a beautiful place this is, Denny. You main entry here shows what a good photographer can do to make it better. Excellent use of the light, and I like how you lined up the arches on the right in side-view leading us to the arches straight ahead.
