Arnstein Abbey (German: Kloster Arnstein) is a former Premonstratensian abbey on the Lahn River, south of present-day Obernhof near Nassau, Germany. It was a monastery of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (SS.CC.), known in Germany as the "Arnsteiner Fathers" (Arnsteiner Patres), who maintained a youth retreat center there until 2018. Since 2019, the abbey has been inhabited by Orthodox nuns under the omophorion of the Patriarch of Serbia. However, an article from 2023 states that the canonical affiliation of the monastery is currently unclear.
