Modern LED lighting for the listed Faustin Mennel house


The listed house Faustin Mennel in the Bonlanden monastery combines hospitality and education in a special atmosphere - and the flair from the time of its eponymous founder of the order.

The view of value awareness and spirituality serves as an inspiring basis for the concept of the thorough renovation of the former school building. It should realize a peaceful, efficient and happy coexistence in church, economy, society and politics.

The aim of the renovation was, among other things, to equip the seminar rooms with the latest technology while at the same time preserving the historical character of the building. The planners opted for modern LED lighting that is efficient and unobtrusively integrated into the existing architecture.

Discreet lines of light with excellent light quality create a uniform ceiling light that accentuates the space. Small PicoSpots supplement the lines of light in the prayer rooms and skillfully and gently stage various exhibits.

Due to its filigree design, the NanoNauticProfile is almost predestined for effective cove lighting, because it fits easily into the smallest niche. Installed unobtrusively, the tiny LED line emphasizes the noble stucco molding along the edges of the ceiling and thus underlines the special atmosphere of the house from 1894.
