Himmerod Abbey
HIMMEROD, Germany -- Himmerod Abbey, designed by the Archbishop Albero of Trier, was built in 1178. The archbishop, anxious to have a Cistercian originating from the type monastery founded in Citeaux, France-foundation in diocese, begged Saint Bernard of Clairvaux to send monks to the Eifel area where they could work and pray. Himmerod is no longer a ruin but a living abbey that attracts people from far and near. (U.S. Air Force photo/Iris Reiff)
