St Marienberg Monastery: paraments workshop shows its craft
The Augustinian nuns of St Marienberg Monastery offer insight into the long-standing paraments workshop and its precious textiles.
At St Marienberg Monastery, a convent of Augustinian nuns, the art of making paraments has been cultivated for generations. In 2026, the paraments workshop opens its doors and shows how liturgical vestments and church textiles are created through intricate handwork — from the chasuble to the stole. Visitors learn more about embroidery, symbolism and the centuries-old tradition of the monastery. The tours combine spiritual history with living craftsmanship and offer a rare glimpse behind the monastery walls.
