Room details
Unique Rooms with Inspirational History in the House of Women
Each of our rooms and every room door in the House of Women is individually designed and tells its own story. During the major renovation of the former Benedictine convent, special attention was paid to optimally utilizing the existing structures and creating a quiet, harmonious atmosphere.
Our rooms are intentionally free of TV and radio – for a genuine break without distractions.
In addition to a number, the rooms in the House of Women also bear the names of significant biblical female figures. You can find their life stories on a wall panel in each room – an invitation to be inspired and encouraged by Miriam, Salome, Mary Magdalene, and many other visionary women.Room/apartment features
