Abbaye Notre-Dame de Donezan, Benedictine abbey in Carcanières, France
The Notre-Dame de Donezan Abbey stands at an altitude of 1,350 meters between the municipalities of Carcanières and Quérigut in the Ariège department.
The abbey was established in 2007 when the monastic community from Notre-Dame de Gaussan discovered the site and purchased land parcels in the Donezan region.
The monastery follows the Rule of Saint Benedict, with daily services conducted in Latin and Gregorian chant, maintaining traditional monastic practices.
Visitors can attend daily Mass and Vespers services, and the abbey can be reached at 04.68.69.85.97 or by visiting Plateau de Mourouscles, Route du Col des Hares.
