The General Chapter of the Alexian Brothers was held at the Abbey of Michaelsberg, a Benedictine foundation almost a thousand years old (1064), which was taken over by the Carmelites in the 2000s. The building was destroyed during the 2nd World War and is now almost 'new'. The complex, which includes St. Michael's Church, is a catering and conference complex with several chapels, guest rooms, a restaurant (including an outdoor one), other common areas, a huge cloister and an inner courtyard.

We have selected some of the pictures taken here.
