The Ammendale Normal Institute is a US historic location in Beltsville MD. Purchased in 1880, it operated as a normal school and novitiate by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. The Ammendale area is named after the previous owner, Daniel Ammen.



Also known as "Christian Brothers Novitiate" and "Ammen Institute," the building had seen several uses over its lifetime. Though it last served as a sort of "retirement home" for aging or retired Brothers; in recent history, it was also used as an active monastery. In April 1998, the main building suffered a devastating fire and its ruins stood until late 2006 when what was left of the building was demolished.



The adjacent Saint Joseph's Catholic Chapel is also a recognized historic site. The chapel was built, in 1880, on 20 acres of land for a novitiate plus five acres for the church donated by Admiral Daniel Ammen, from whom the Ammendale name is derived.



The Christian Brothers and Saint Joseph's parish church used the adjacent land as a combined cemetery.
