Nütschau Priory, Nütschau, Germany

Nütschau Priory is a Benedictine house located in the former Nütschau manor house. The manor was built in 1577-1579 by Heinrich Rantzau, this community originated after World War II as a refuge for displaced persons, particularly Catholics from the former German territories.

The church acquired the site in 1951 and at the request of Hermann Wilhelm Berning, the Bishop of Osnabrück, it was developed by and staffed from Gerleve Abbey. St. Ansgar's House opened in 1951. In 1955 the community was raised to the status of a priory under Gerleve, and in 1975 Nütschau became an independent monastery, which now includes a training house and a youth house.

A place of peace, contemplation and relaxation. I enjoy taking part in the monks' regular prayer times in the beautiful, modern monastery church. The excellent cuisine, the Benedictine hospitality of the brothers and the wonderful nature around the monastery give body and soul new strength. My favorite monastery! 5 stars ? ? ? ? ?

A beautiful place to pray, walk, meet people, get close to God and relax. Every visit is worth it, regardless of whether it's short devotions, youth trips, meals together or the great opportunities to sing, pray and talk.

Place of inner contemplation and peace. There is individual support there in all life questions. There are rooms with a very pleasant atmosphere for conferences.

A place of silence and reflection. I registered as an individual for the silent area. My room was very well equipped with a view and door onto a seating area in the countryside. The time just flew by. I read a lot and wrote a lot down. Although I am not Catholic, the unusual ceremony of devotions gave me support and security. I also visited the beautiful chapel between prayers... this warm light did me a lot of good, I felt 'safe'! In addition, the food was incredibly good. A cheerful kitchen team spoiled us guests. I would like to capture this positive experience with further visits!

Stobi

Stobi was an ancient town of Paeonia located near Gradsko. It is considered by many to be the most famous archaeological site in North Macedonia. Stobi was built where the Erigon (Crna River) joins the Axios (Vardar), making it strategically important as a center for both trade and warfare.

Stobi developed from a Paeonian settlement established in the Archaic period. It is believed that in 217 BCE, Philip V annexed Paionia during his campaign against the Dardani who had entered Bylazora, the largest Paeonian town.

The city was first mentioned in writing by the historian Livy, in connection with a victory of Philip V of Macedon over the Dardani in 197 BC. In 168 BC, the Romans defeated Perseus and Macedonia was divided into four nominally independent republics. In 148 BC, the four areas of Macedonia were brought together in a unified Roman province. In the reign of Augustus the city grew in size and population.
