Mt. Angel Abbey, set high above Mt. Angel on a 300 foot bluff is a century old Benedictine monastic community built in 1883 by Swiss Benedictine monks. Views from the bluff include Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams, as well as the lush Willamette Valley farmland. Walking maps are available at the Retreat House and Gift Shop. The tour includes the lovely chapel and the lobby gallery and rare book room. The beautiful library, designed by Alvar Aalto, stores a priceless collection of illuminated manuscripts, and features a display of rare, handprinted books. Guided tours can be arranged by appointment. Meditative retreats at the Abbey can be arranged, for a minimal fee, by writing the Mt. Angel Abbey Retreat House, St. Benedictine, OR 97373, or by telephoning 1-503-845-3045.
