Mount Michael Abbey
Elkhorn, United States
Mount Michael Abbey is a Benedictine monastery outside Elkhorn, Nebraska. It is located in the Archdiocese of Omaha. The Abbey sits within 400 acre grounds just northwest of the city. The majority of which is a mixture of cropland, pasture, and woodlands. Also on the property are the buildings of the high school (which was founded by the Abbey), multiple guest houses, barns for the farm equipment, and outdoor shrines for monks and visitors to reflect and pray. The abbey is part of the Swiss-American Congregation and traces its roots to Engelberg Abbey in Switzerland and Immaculate Conception Abbey in Missouri.
