The Lord gave it, the Lord took it: the Trappists withdraw from Engelhartszell. However, not immediately. The pause to think about how to proceed should last two years. Because it’s not just about the last four monks, but also about a dozen employees and some companies.
“Luceat lux vestra – your light will shine.” This is the motto of the Cistercians of the stricter observance, known as the Trappists.

A trend that does not stop at Engelszell Abbey, where the Trappists have been at home since 1925.
