Pairis Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Orbey, France.
Located in the Haut-Rhin region of northeastern France, Pairis Abbey features traditional Cistercian architectural elements with a grand entrance portal from the 18th century.
Founded in 1138 by the Count of Eguisheim as a daughter house of Lucelle Abbey, Pairis Abbey experienced prosperity until its transformation into a priory in the 15th century.
The abbey gained prominence when Abbot Martin returned from the Fourth Crusade with relics from Constantinople, while monk Gunther documented the expedition's events.
The former religious complex now operates as a nursing home, maintaining its role as a community service center in the Orbey municipality.
Following a devastating fire in 1753 that destroyed the abbey church and monastic buildings, the site underwent complete reconstruction with new furnishings completed by 1765.
