Our selection for spending an unusual night in a convent
Place of prayer and meditation, convents rarely welcome the public, but they are not meant to be closed off from the world either. Some of them even host passing guests. So, if your quest for the unusual includes a touch of spirituality, here are some addresses that will delight you.
To avoid mixing active convents with renovations of old religious buildings, we deliberately offer you two separate categories. If you are more inclined towards old churches or abbeys transformed into unique accommodations, we recommend this page on religious buildings.
