The former Cistercian monastery of St. Thomas on the Kyll in St. Thomas, a community in the Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate, was founded in the late 12th century in honor of Thomas Becket. The place and monastery bear the name of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Chancellor under King Henry II of England, who after his assassination in 1170 in the Cathedral of Canterbury by Pope Alexander III. was canonized. The church was built towards the end of the 12th and the beginning of the 13th century with elements of late Romanesque and early Gothic style.

Until the French Revolution at the beginning of the 19th century, the monastery was a Cistercian abbey.
Since 2006 it is a retreat house for spiritual meetings, workshops and meetings. There is also a service every day except Monday.

Many St. Matthias Brotherhoods (SMB) from the Lower Rhine strengthen themselves in this conference house on their way to Trier or spend the night here.
