Prieuré de Vaux-sur-Poligny, Medieval priory in Poligny, France.

The Notre-Dame de Vaux priory extends across a natural site in the Jura region, with the Glantine river flowing through limestone hills.

Established in 1020 by the Count of Burgundy and affiliated with Cluny in 1029, this monastery stands as the first Cluniac establishment in Jura.

The refectory door within the cloister displays flamboyant Gothic architectural elements and contains remnants of ancient wall frescoes.

The site welcomes cultural events in its cloister and church, enabling visitors to explore this architectural heritage throughout the year.

The monastic buildings incorporate a distinct architectural blend, featuring Benedictine style on the facade and Maurist design in the cloister.
