History of Our Monastic Community
Our monastic community has its roots in Georgia. As Georgian families settled across Europe, Patriarch Ilia II of Georgia asked Father Abbot Abibos to establish a monastery in Antwerp where people could find a welcoming spiritual home.
In Antwerp, Abbot Abibos and twelve sisters built a community open to visitors. Their life was based on prayer, work and service. They made bread, cheese and beer, using the proceeds to sustain their religious, pastoral and social activities.
After about twenty-five years, the community had become more widely dispersed. With the blessing of Patriarch Ilia II, Abbot Abibos decided to continue the monastery on board Elia II. Several sisters returned to Georgia, while Abbot Abibos, Sister Elisabeth and Sister Mariam worked on transforming the vessel.
The ship's chapel was decorated with hand-painted frescoes by the Georgian artists Teimuraz Japaridze, a professor at the Tbilisi Academy of Arts, and his wife Magda Japaridze.
Our Monastic Community Today
Today, the monastery ship Elia II is based in Dinteloord, the Netherlands, and can sail to other destinations. Visitors can discover the beautiful chapel and frescoes by Teimuraz and Magda Japaridze.
The community continues its tradition of artisanal work. Abbot Abibos grew up in a winemaking family and has spent years developing distinctive beer recipes, combining selected ingredients and traditional methods. Het Klooster Bier is produced from these recipes, including at a partner brewery while the community develops its own brewing facilities.
Our range includes Blond, Tripel, Quadrupel, De Gezusters and Profound. Revenue supports our religious and social mission.
We welcome visitors to explore the ship and chapel, meet the community and enjoy a beer tasting. Guided tours and boat trips can also be arranged.
Thank you for visiting our website. We hope to welcome you aboard Elia II soon.
