Auberive Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Auberive, France

The abbey includes a church with flat-walled chevet, separate areas for choir-monks and lay-brothers, and a communal north wing for monastic activities.

Founded in 1135 by twelve monks from Clairvaux Abbey, the institution owned eleven barns, four town houses, fourteen mills, and numerous ponds by the 13th century.

The abbey now functions as a Contemporary Art Center, presenting exhibitions of figurative expressionist art and singular art from June through September.

Visitors need to schedule appointments for guided tours, available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM in November.

The monks engineered a one-kilometer diversion of the Aube River, creating an intricate network of canals for water management and agricultural purposes.
