Prieuré de Vausse, Medieval priory in Châtel-Gérard, France.
The Prieuré de Vausse features Romanesque architecture with semi-circular arches, sturdy pillars, and a cloister surrounding a medicinal plant garden.
Founded in the early 13th century by Anséric de Montréal, the priory operated until 1763 when the last monk departed, later becoming a faience factory.
The priory combines architectural elements from Cistercian and Carthusian traditions, reflecting the religious practices of medieval Burgundian monasticism.
The site opens during heritage days from 14:00 to 18:30, with summer events including outdoor concerts and refreshments in the garden.
Ernest Petit, a prominent Burgundian historian, was born at the priory in 1835 and dedicated his career to documenting its extensive history.
