Monastery of Prouille, Dominican monastery in Fanjeaux, France
The Monastery of Prouille features Byzantine Revival architecture with domed structures and mosaics situated between Fanjeaux and Bram in Languedoc region.
Founded in 1206 by Saint Dominic, this monastery became the first Dominican establishment for nuns and served as a center for converting Cathars.
The monastery maintains an active community of nuns who follow the Rule of St. Augustine while engaging in theological studies and religious practices.
Located at the intersection of roads from Castelnaudary to Limoux and Bram to Mirepoix, the monastery offers guided tours of its religious artifacts.
Only an arch keystone survived the French Revolution, leading to a complete restoration during the French Second Empire by Henri-Dominique Lacordaire.
