Communauté de Grandchamp, Protestant monastery in Neuchâtel, Switzerland
The Communauté de Grandchamp occupies a former textile dyeing estate with gardens, offering spaces for meditation and communal gatherings near Lake Neuchâtel.
The monastery started in a retreat house before World War II, when women gathered for spiritual events, leading to its formal establishment in 1952.
Sisters from multiple countries and Christian denominations unite in daily prayers, manual work, and artistic activities while maintaining a French-speaking environment.
Visitors can reach the monastery by train from Geneva, participating in scheduled prayer times and retreats through a donation-based system.
The community maintains connections with Brother Roger, who visited before founding Taizé, while developing its independent feminine spiritual identity.
