Luxeuil Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Luxeuil-les-Bains, France.
The monastic complex includes a Gothic church from the 14th century, stone buildings, and thermal baths integrated into the grounds.
Founded in 590 by Irish missionary Saint Columbanus on the ruins of Luxovium, the monastery became a significant center of religious activity in medieval France.
The monastery developed the distinctive Script of Luxeuil in its scriptorium, contributing to medieval paleography and manuscript production.
The Gothic church functions as a parish church, while other monastery buildings house a diocesan minor seminary open to scheduled visits.
The monastery preserves the Lectionary of Luxeuil from the 7th century, displaying early medieval Mozarabic and Bobbian liturgical influences.
