Trappist monasteries are religious communities founded by the Cistercian order, known for their commitment to a simple and contemplative lifestyle. The monks live according to the Rule of Saint Benedict, focusing on prayer, work, and community life. They often engage in farming, brewing, or producing goods, which helps support their way of life. These monasteries are famous for their peaceful environments and strict schedules, which include several hours of prayer each day. The monks take a vow of silence, allowing them to deepen their spiritual connection. Visitors can often purchase products made by the monks, such as Trappist beer or cheese, which help sustain their communities.
