Abbaye de Valcroissant, Cistercian abbey in Die, France
The medieval stone buildings of Valcroissant Abbey stand in a mountain valley, surrounded by agricultural fields and ancient stone walls.
Founded in 1188 by monks from Bonnevaux, the abbey maintained a small community of approximately twelve monks throughout the Middle Ages.
The monastery follows traditional Cistercian architecture with a central cloister, surrounding monastic buildings, and an abbey church for daily prayers.
Guided tours of the abbey operate multiple times weekly during summer months, with adult tickets priced at 5 euros and children under 12 entering free.
The site originally served as a water collection point for an aqueduct that supplied the Roman city of Dea Augusta, now known as Die.
