New Norcia Attractions

The Benedictine Monastery is located on the site of the original 1847 mission building in New Norcia. The Monastery is now home to a population of monks who live a simple communal life of prayer and work within the Monastery.

To get the most out of your visit to the town of New Norcia, follow the New Norcia Heritage Trail. Soak up the Spanish influenced architecture and learn about the history of this unique monastic town and its time as an Aboriginal mission. The New Norcia Heritage Trail has two parts, a two kilometre walk through the town and a 1.7 kilometre river walk. Allow three hours to explore both trails.
