Acey Abbey, Trappist monastery in Vitreux, France
The Cistercian abbey sits alongside the River Ognon, featuring a church with eight bays, two side aisles, and a transept with multiple chapels.
Founded in 1136 by Anseric de Montréal and Renaud III, Count of Burgundy, the abbey expanded rapidly and established six subsidiary farming estates.
The monastery maintains Trappist traditions through daily prayer routines, manual labor, and the operation of an electroplating workshop for metals including gold and silver.
Visitors can stay in one of fifteen rooms or the 60-bed dormitory, with the nearest train station located 14 kilometers away in Orchamps.
The electroplating factory within the monastery processes various metals, providing both income for the community and employment opportunities for local residents.
