Flavigny Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, France.
The former Benedictine monastery stands on high ground with its Carolingian architecture features and houses a family-operated candy manufacturing facility.
Founded in 717 by Widerad, the abbey received dedication from Pope John VIII in 877 and remained active until the French Revolution in 1790.
The monastery preserves the religious heritage through its crypt, while the main buildings now produce the traditional Anis de Flavigny confectionery.
Visitors can tour the candy factory located within the abbey complex and learn about the production process of the centuries-old anise sweet recipe.
The monastery transformation from a religious institution to a candy factory maintains a continuous occupation spanning over 1300 years at this location.
