Saint-Benoît de Port-Valais, Benedictine monastery in Le Bouveret, Switzerland.
The Saint-Benoît de Port-Valais Abbey stands near Lake Geneva, featuring individual guest rooms and communal spaces within the Sainte-Marthe reception house.
In 1924, two monks from Maredsous Abbey in Belgium initiated the return of Benedictine presence to French-speaking Switzerland, first settling in Longeborgne hermitage.
The monastery maintains traditional Benedictine practices, following Saint Benedict's principles of balancing prayer, work, reading, and community life.
Visitors can purchase religious items such as crosses, medals, and devotional objects at the abbey store while exploring the monastic grounds.
The abbey holds direct jurisdiction under the Benedictine Confederation, operating independently from other congregations as a Monasterium extra congregationes.
