Romantic ruins have been revived.  In a dramatic endeavor, Towne Properties and Receptions Event Centers converged to revitalize The Monastery at St. Paul Place in Mount Adams.  Rich in Cincinnati history and tradition, this beautiful, classic building originally housed the Cincinnati Observatory; thereafter the Holy Cross Monastery. The Monastery’s memorable building, exquisite courtyard, and beautifully landscaped grounds offer the perfect location for your event.  The scenic views and delightful neighborhood are captivating.  As a bonus, the unique photo opportunities are remarkable.  The historic building’s elegance and old world charm provide an idyllic setting for the celebration of a lifetime. The Monastery opened as a premier venue for special events in May of 2016.  After two years of planning, the historic property’s rejuvenation was guided by careful reverence for this iconic building which is over 100 years old.   The neighborhood, Mount Adams, often described as an urban island, is a treasure chest of history.  The Monastery rests atop that treasure as a royal jewel.  Your guests now have the opportunity to share in the experience that is The Monastery; to take in the ambiance of old world enchantment—untarnished by modernization.

Finally, in Mount Adams, where parking comes at a premium, The Monastery Event Center offers abundant on-site parking.  The parking, the magnificence of the entire property, the neighborhood, a creative culinary team and a professional staff dedicated to your event are the perfect components for creating a memorable event of a lifetime.
