GERMANY - Maria Laach Abbey

 

Today I received more 9 postcards from Maria Laach Abbey in Germany. Thanks a lot!

 

Maria Laach Abbey is a Benedictine abbey situated on the southwestern shore of the Laacher See (Lake Laach), near Andernach, in the Eifel region of the Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany.

It is a member of the Beuronese Congregation within the Benedictine Confederation.

The abbey was known for nearly 770 years as "Abtei Laach" ("Abbatia Lacensis" or "Laach Abbey", meaning the "Lake Abbey") until 1862 when the Jesuits added the name "Maria".
