Abbaye of Lure, Medieval abbey in Lure, France.
The remaining church of the monastery stands at 1200 meters altitude in a beech forest, surrounded by centuries-old walnut and lime trees.
The abbey dates from the early 7th century, founded by Saint Desle, and maintained independence until 1678 with its abbot holding the title of Prince of Empire.
The abbey church Notre-Dame de Lure hosts an annual pilgrimage on August 15th to celebrate the Assumption feast with local religious traditions.
The building now serves as the sub-prefecture headquarters, with several canonical houses preserved in the surrounding area.
The abbey received authorization from Charles V in 1544 to establish a mint in Guebwiller, exercising the abbots' right to produce currency.
