Hospitality personified
Sr. Barbara Weindl
Active at Kronburg since 2012, Sister Barbara Weindl has long been an indispensable part of daily life at the monastery estate. As head of the house at Kronburg and the link to the Mutterhaus of the Sisters of Mercy of Zams, she ensures everything runs smoothly throughout the operation – among the staff, the guests and the sisters alike.
Sr. BARBARA
Down to earth and open to the world, Sr. Barbara gladly takes time to talk with guests, to listen and to laugh with them. For those seeking advice, she always has a helpful tip. To stay grounded, she suggests marveling at the beauty of nature or resting in silence in "Elijah's Cave" in the Klösterle. That is also where she herself draws strength again and again for the challenges of everyday life.

Encounter on every level
As a hospitality business, the monastery estate is defined by a spirit of service, paired with friendliness, attentiveness, kindness and a feel for people. The Sisters of Mercy and all staff put this into practice with great empathy for every guest. Values such as respect and appreciation also play a central role in how colleagues work together. As an employer, Gasthof Kronburg offers a good working atmosphere, a secure job, a say in how things are done and fair pay.
As a Sister of Mercy, Sr. Barbara is present at the inn, and through her presence she brings timeless values of faith into everyday life and encounters. Whether and how deeply you engage with this is, of course, entirely up to you.
And so the most diverse people feel at home at Klostergut Kronburg with their questions about God and the world, in their search for faith and for the meaning of life.
