Abbaye Sainte-Marie de Rieunette
Abbaye Sainte-Marie de Rieunette, Cistercian abbey in Ladern-sur-Lauquet, France.
The limestone buildings of Abbaye Sainte-Marie de Rieunette stand among gardens and natural surroundings in the Aude department, 30 kilometers from Carcassonne.
Founded in 1162, the abbey experienced centuries of monastic interruption until its restoration by the Cistercian nuns of Boulaur, leading to its reopening in 1998.
The abbey maintains Cistercian traditions through daily liturgical services, communal activities, and spiritual guidance for visitors seeking religious contemplation.
The monastery offers five guest rooms accommodating up to four people each, plus a meeting space called Saint Benoit that holds twenty participants.
The name Rieunette originates from Rivus nitidus, referring to the small stream flowing near the monastery grounds.
