LocationOverijssel, Netherlands

Sion Abbey is an operational Trappist monastery in Diepenveen, Overijssel, Netherlands, in the Diocese of Utrecht.

The monastery, which was set up in 1883, is a daughter house of Achel Abbey. This is the only Trappist community in the Netherlands north of the great rivers. Since 1935 the monastery has had the status of an abbey. Most of the complex is in Neo-Gothic style and was designed by architect Gerard te Riele.

In 2015, the community sold their property and the remaining monks have founded New Sion Abbey on the island of Schiermonnikoog.
