Institut Saint Joseph

On a plot of 10 hectares, the Institut St. Joseph extends in the small village of Betzdorf, in the east of the country in the hinterland of the Moselle region. This institute, founded 350 years ago by the sisters of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Elisabeth, has set itself the goal of caring for people with mental and physical disabilities.
A hundred residents and about twenty people who are not accommodated on the site follow their activities in an environment adapted to them. Carpentry workshops, pottery, a large garden, a restaurant, a playground with a petting zoo and a grocery store allow residents to engage in interesting and enriching activities.
A multipurpose room and an equipped kitchen are available to the general public on reservation for seminars, and family celebrations (baptisms, weddings, funerals)
Apart from these facilities, the site also has a small swimming pool for its own use and a small hall for sports activities.
