Monastère de Saint-Vivant de Vergy, Medieval abbey ruins in Curtil-Vergy, France
The remnants of Saint-Vivant de Vergy Abbey include stone walls, church foundations, and scattered architectural elements across the rural landscape.
Founded in the 9th century by monks fleeing Norman invasions, the abbey remained a religious center until its closure during the French Revolution in 1790.
The monastery managed prestigious vineyards for 650 years, including the current Romanée-Conti and Romanée Saint-Vivant wine production areas.
The site requires walking on an unpaved path from Curtil-Vergy village to reach the ruins at the foot of Mont Vergy.
During restoration work in 2011, workers discovered a wine bottle from 1772 within the abbey walls, connecting its past to present viticulture.
