Abbaye de Haute-Seille, Cistercian abbey in Cirey-sur-Vezouze, France.
The remains of the abbey include agricultural buildings arranged around a rectangular courtyard and a Romanesque portal decorated with multiple arches.
Founded in 1140 following a donation by Countess Agnes of Langenstein to the Cistercian order, the abbey was consecrated in 1176 by Pierre de Brixey.
The abbey served as a major monastic center in Lorraine, influencing agricultural and economic development throughout the region for several centuries.
The abbey ruins are located at 9 Haute Seille in Cirey-sur-Vezouze, accessible through marked paths that allow site exploration.
The name Haute-Seille comes from the Latin Alta Silva meaning High Forest, unrelated to the Seille river flowing in the region.
