St. Andrew's Abbey
St. Andrew's Abbey Review
The Benedictine monastery St. Andrew's Abbey stands on 760 acres of lush greenery and natural springs. A big draw here is the property's ceramics studio, established in 1969; St. Andrew's Ceramics sells handmade tile saints, angels, and plaques designed by Father Maur van Doorslaer, a monk from Sint Andries in Bruges, Belgium, whose work is collected across the United States and Canada. Don't miss the abbey's fall festival, where you can sample tasty dishes and enjoy entertainment that includes singing nuns and dancing monks.
