Abbaye Notre-Dame de Timadeuc, Trappist monastery in Bréhan, France.
The Notre-Dame de Timadeuc Abbey contains three separate buildings arranged around a central courtyard with a neogothic church constructed in stone and granite.
Founded in 1841 by three monks from La Trappe Abbey, the monastery received official recognition as an abbey in September 1847 after initial construction.
Fifteen monks maintain daily routines of prayer services, starting at 3:45 AM with vigils, while producing traditional monastic products including cheeses and fruit preserves.
The monastery includes a guesthouse with 31 single rooms for visitors seeking spiritual retreats, where meals are served in complete silence.
During World War II, the abbey received a Resistance medal for protecting resistance fighters and allied pilots from German forces.
