The Abbey was established in 1833 by Swiss Benedictine Monks. Their campus is one of the most peaceful places on Earth.
The bell tower was built on to the church only a few years ago.
These are the old bells. 
Back when we still lived in town, on still days we could hearing them calling the monks to prayers.

My world... literally
It is a beautiful winter day here in the Pacific Northwest. The sun is shining and the air is clear... a perfect day to grab my camera and drive up the hill to visit Mount Angel Abbey. You can see our farm from up there. (The green arrow is pointing to it - be sure to click on this one!)
