Aiguebelle Abbey, Trappist monastery in Montjoyer, France.
The monastery complex features Romanesque architecture with rounded arches, thick walls, and two distinct wings spanning across Montjoyer and Réauville territories.
Founded in 1101 as a Benedictine monastery, Aiguebelle Abbey was later re-established in 1137 as a Cistercian institution by Gontard Loup of Rochefort-en-Valdaine.
The monks maintain traditional Trappist practices, following a daily schedule of prayer, manual labor, and agricultural activities according to Cistercian principles.
The monastery welcomes visitors seeking spiritual retreats and offers guided tours of its medieval buildings, including the church, cloisters, and chapter house.
The abbey survived the French Revolution due to its remote location, with its buildings preserved because they were too distant from transportation routes.
