Bèze Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Bèze, France

The Saint-Pierre Abbey complex includes fortified walls, a moat, and two preserved defensive towers constructed during the fifteenth century.

Duke Amalgaire of Lower Burgundy established the abbey in 629, endowing it with 31 domains containing forests, vineyards, and agricultural buildings.

The monastery housed a monastic school from its foundation in 630, contributing to the educational development of the Burgundy region.

The abbey opens from July through September, Wednesday to Sunday between 3:00 PM and 6:30 PM, with adult admission priced at 5 euros.

The site survived multiple destructions by Frankish warlords, Saracens, Normans, and Hungarians during its first three centuries of existence.
