Abbaye Notre-Dame de l'Étanche, Medieval Cistercian abbey in Rollainville, France

The Abbey Notre-Dame de l'Étanche stands along the Frézelle River, featuring a main building from 1778 and several remaining outbuildings in the Vosges region.

Founded in 1148 by Duke Matthew I of Lorraine and Bertha of Swabia, the abbey received substantial donations from local noble families throughout its early years.

The abbey's religious significance is evidenced by a monumental altarpiece from the 17th century, now preserved in Saint-Nicolas Church in Neufchâteau.

The site includes vacation homes with private swimming pools, free WiFi, independent entrances, and comfortable living areas accommodating groups of 5 to 10 people.

After serving as a military hospital during World War I, the abbey buildings were converted into various industrial facilities, including a paper mill and weaving workshop.
