Ancienne abbaye bénédictine Saint-Grégoire, Benedictine monastery in Munster, France.

The remaining structures of Saint Gregory Abbey include vaulted cloisters from the 17th century and a spiral staircase leading to former monk cells.

Founded around 660 at the confluence of Little and Great Fecht rivers, the abbey received land donations from Frankish kings Childeric II and Louis the Pious.

The abbey became an intellectual center in the 18th century, attracting notable figures such as Abbot Charles Marchant and theologian Augustin Calmet.

The former abbey now houses the Regional Natural Park administration, Tourist Office, restaurant, and media library of Munster Valley.

The Gothic door features traces of hammered coats of arms dating from the late 15th century, predating the Thirty Years War.
