Mepkin Abbey

Moncks Corner Travel Guide Mepkin Abbey, located in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, is a historic monastery founded in 1949 by a group of Trappist monks. The monastery is situated on a 3,000-acre property along the beautiful Cooper River, offering visitors a tranquil and serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The monastery is home to a small community of monks who live a simple and contemplative life according to the Rule of Saint Benedict.

Visitors to Mepkin Abbey can take part in a guided tour of the monastery and learn about the rich history and daily life of the Trappist monks. The tour includes a visit to the church, cloister, refectory, and gardens, providing a unique opportunity to experience the beauty and peacefulness of this sacred place. The abbey also offers retreats and workshops for those seeking a deeper spiritual experience.

In addition to its historical significance as a site of monastic life, Mepkin Abbey is also known for its beautiful gardens and renowned mushroom farm.
