Flavigny Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, France.

Flavigny Abbey is a former Benedictine monastery whose rough grey and tan stone facade retains a pointed Gothic archway and a round-arched portal leading into a vaulted passage. A white sign beside the passage reads "LA FABRIQUE DES IMAGES" and "LA TERRASSE". The Carolingian crypt, built in the 9th century for the relics of Saint Regina, survives beneath the later buildings.

The monastery was founded in 717 and received papal dedication from Pope John VIII in 877. It continued as a religious community until the upheaval of the French Revolution ended monastic life here in 1790.

The monks made aniseed sweets here; after the Revolution the abbey was sold and villagers carried on the trade, with up to eight producers working at once. Edmond Galimard merged them between 1896 and 1909 into one workshop, and the Troubat family has run it since 1923.

The facade on the street shows two portals: a pointed Gothic archway opening into darkness and, to its right, a round-arched portal leading through a vaulted passage to a lit corridor. A white sign beside the passage reads "LA FABRIQUE DES IMAGES" and "LA TERRASSE". The Carolingian crypt and the anise-dragée workshop can be visited.

The Carolingian crypt, built in the 9th century to hold the relics of Saint Regina, was cleared out in the 19th century; its carvings show Italian influence. It has been classified as a monument historique since 24 January 1906, with the buried remains protected by a later listing. The relics of Saint Regina were brought here from Alise-Sainte-Reine on 22 March 864.
