Abbaye Sainte-Croix de Bouzonville
Abbaye Sainte-Croix de Bouzonville, Medieval abbey in Bouzonville, France
The Sainte-Croix Abbey features a Gothic church with three apses, twin towers at the chevet, and a baroque-domed bell tower from 1777.
Count Adalbert of Alsace established the abbey in 1033 after returning from the Holy Land with a relic of the True Cross.
The church interior contains historical furniture including a 17th-century statue of Saint Benedict and carved wooden lions from the late 18th century.
Visitors can access the abbey at 6 Cour de l'Abbaye in Bouzonville for free tours during services or through scheduled guided group visits.
The choir's keystone displays the shield of Gutzon de Wyskirch, the master builder who directed the 14th-century reconstruction.
