Lucelle Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Lucelle, France
The monastery stands near the Swiss border in the Haut-Rhin department, featuring sections of its original structure including the Notre-Dame chapel.
Founded in 1124 as a daughter house of Bellevaux Abbey, Lucelle Abbey established multiple monasteries across the region until its dissolution in 1792.
The monastery exemplifies Cistercian architectural principles through its functional design, reflecting the order's commitment to simplicity in religious practices.
The abbey site remains accessible to visitors interested in religious heritage, with preserved structures protected under French historical monument status since 1996.
At its peak in the late 12th century, Lucelle Abbey housed over 200 monks and managed properties across 80 different locations.
