Abbaye de Mont-Sainte-Marie, Cistercian abbey in Labergement-Sainte-Marie, France.

The abbey sits between Lake Saint-Point and Lake Remoray, featuring stone buildings that reflect traditional Cistercian architectural principles.

Founded in 1196 by Gaucher IV of Salins, the abbey experienced periods of growth until its partial demolition during the French Revolution in 1790.

The monastery maintained extensive religious manuscripts and practiced Gregorian chants while supporting agricultural development in the surrounding region.

Visitors can explore the remaining structures and foundations of the abbey, located near hiking trails connecting to the surrounding lakes.

The Charter of Five Seals from 1311 documents the exchange between local lords and monks, where prayers were traded for territorial rights.
