St. Altfrid Youth Center
The St. Altfrid youth center sees itself as a place of encounter. Encounter with others, with nature, with oneself and with God. It is a place where trust in oneself and in life can grow. We are open to all groups and communities of different ages who would like to use our house for conferences, leisure activities or training courses. We are a house of the diocese of Essen, i.e. the Catholic Church, and of course we have an open door for other denominations and religions and also for seekers and non-believers.
