Forgiveness begins in the cellars of Steyl
The Forgiveness Museum has no fixed walk-in venue with a weekly schedule. What is currently on offer consists mainly of booked guided tours through monastery cellars about residents who found shelter there during the war.
A hundred days underground
The guided tour follows the stay of Steyl residents in 1944 and 1945. Note which places, documents and handed-down stories the guide uses to reconstruct that period.
Reconciliation as a theme
The foundation places the local story in a broader conversation about victims, perpetrators and encounter. Keep asking who is speaking, what context the example comes from and which questions remain open.
A guided tour instead of a museum gallery
The visit takes about two hours and passes through cellars that can only be reached by stairs. The place therefore determines pace, group size and physical accessibility.
Before you go
There is no fixed walk-in schedule. Book by e-mail for an announced guided tour; groups of ten or more can sometimes arrange a different day. The cellars are not wheelchair accessible.
