Thomas a Kempis Museum: small collection, by appointment for now

At Bergklooster cemetery, a museum room has been set up around Thomas a Kempis, with a memorial stone, entrance stone and portrait.

Plan your visit ↗

Remembrance at Bergklooster

The site connects the person, religious history and landscape. Ask what connection each object on display really has with Thomas a Kempis or the location.

Memorial stone and portrait

A stone and a painted portrait commemorate him in different ways. Compare text, image and maker, and note when each object was made.

A museum in development

Volunteers for regular opening hours are still being recruited. Tuesday and weekend afternoons are an aim, not a schedule you can travel on without confirmation.

Before you go

Visits are limited and by appointment only. Preferably get in touch by e-mail and have the time, access and guided tour confirmed.
