Abbaye de la Fille-Dieu Romont, Cistercian monastery near Romont, Switzerland.
The monastery consists of stone buildings with a church featuring modern stained glass windows created by artist Brian Clarke in 1996.
Founded in 1268 as a Benedictine priory, the abbey joined the Trappist order in 1906 and underwent extensive restoration between 1990 and 1996.
