Abbey of St. Maurice and St. Maurus of Clervaux

Founded in 1908, this Benedictine abbey in Clervaux, Luxembourg, is a living monastic community of around twelve monks following the Rule of Saint Benedict. As a member of the Congregation of Solesmes, the abbey upholds the tradition of Gregorian chant — the 19th-century reform movement that revived medieval plainchant from near-extinction in Western liturgy. The Romanesque Revival architecture, with its solid stone arcades and bell tower, reflects the ecclesiastical confidence of the early 20th century. Visitors may attend choir offices and experience the contemplative rhythm that structures monastic daily life.
