Places like this always make me very thoughtful and I hope that the death of these soldiers is enough of a warning.

The monastery garden opens every year on March 1st and offers a wide selection of young vegetable plants, perennials, herbs, and bedding plants. The monastery fishery is also worth a visit. Fish played a permanent role on the Cistercian menu, so fish farming in Himmerod has a centuries-old tradition.

For centuries, the organ has rightly been considered the queen of instruments. It is the largest and, in most cases, the most magnificent instrument, often equipped with the tonal volume of an entire orchestra. A queen of a very special rank is the great organ of the Abbey Church of Himmerod. This organ is not only the most important and imposing in the entire region, it also made history in post-war German organ building. To this day, this organ, built in 1962 by the venerable Bonn organ building firm of Johannes Klais, is considered a prime example of innovative organ building, a successful synthesis of classical craftsmanship and the challenges of contemporary, modern organ building.
