Benet Hill Monastery is an enchanted place in Colorado. Are you familiar with monasteries? They are home to spiritual communities of people who live under religious vows, and they are just as aesthetically pleasing as you would expect. While monasteries may sound like places you can only find in Europe or old-world countries, you can actually find quite a few here in the Centennial State, including this hidden one that you will want to visit. Let's take a look at one of the prettiest monasteries in Colorado Springs!

The heavenly Benet Hill Monastery serves the purpose of providing a beautiful and sacred space of hospitality.

It is also an educational resource that includes increased growth in spirituality and other ministries. "We do this with all God’s people with a special emphasis on women."

Though the Benedictine Tradition - which encourages communities to come together and seek God - has been around for more than 1,500 years, the Benet Hill Monastery was not formed until the early 1960s.

Benet Hill Monastery was created after the Benedictine Community of Mount St. Scholastica in Kansas purchased land in the Springs in an effort to expand.

In addition to being home to a religious organization, the Benet Hill Monastery serves the community in a number of different ways, including hosting retreats...

...special events...

...and weekly mass, as well as an overall quiet place to reflect and pray.

Need we even mention that the Benet Hill Monastery is set amongst the most beautiful of scenery?

The monastery itself is just as pretty as its location!

And the Benedictine sisters here do beautiful work in many different ways, including operating a thrift store in Colorado Springs, hosting a concert series dedicated to traditional chamber music, and raising awareness for social justice programs and human trafficking prevention organizations.

The Colorado monastery is a gift to the public in so many ways.

We love the warm-weather blossoms which represent the heartfelt work of the caring people inside.

Visitors of all sorts are welcome to walk the grounds every day during daylight hours.

Please check in at the monastery so people know you're there in case of an emergency.
