Escaladieu Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Bonnemazon, France.
The monastery stands at the meeting point of the Arros and Luz rivers, featuring buildings that demonstrate medieval Cistercian architectural principles.
Founded in 1142 as a daughter house of Morimond Abbey, the monastery expanded its influence by establishing eight abbeys in Spain and two in Gascony.
The name Escaladieu comes from Latin Scala Dei, meaning ladder of God, reflecting the spiritual journey emphasized in Cistercian monastic traditions.
From April through December, visitors can explore the abbey grounds and buildings daily between 10:00 AM and 6:15 PM.
The monastery remained under continuous Cistercian occupation from its foundation until 1830, when it transferred to private ownership.
