Abbaye Sainte-Scholastique de Dourgne, Benedictine abbey in Dourgne, France.
The Benedictine abbey stands at the foot of Montagne Noire, featuring traditional monastic architecture with gardens, cloisters, and multiple chapels throughout the grounds.
Founded in 1883 by Marie Cronier after her spiritual experience at the convent of Jouarre, the abbey received its official establishment status in 1896.
The resident nuns maintain Benedictine traditions through daily prayers, manual labor, study periods, and the creation of religious artifacts including albs and ceramics.
Visitors can arrange stays in the monastery's dedicated guest quarters, with separate accommodations available for groups located five minutes from the main building.
The abbey maintains a community of fifty nuns who produce handcrafted items such as Christmas cribs, liturgical vestments, and bound books available in their monastic shop.
