Abbaye royale de Belmont, Cistercian abbey in Belmont, France

The Belmont Abbey features a U-shaped guest house with two levels and a central bay topped by a triangular pediment.

Founded in 1127 as the second female Cistercian abbey, the institution received numerous donations from surrounding families and papal protection from Eugene III.

The abbey maintained a mix of social classes among its religious members, without requiring nobility status for admission into the community.

The site now houses a public library and offers seasonal cultural events in the remaining buildings of the former religious complex.

The monastery established a presence in Syria from 1147 to 1287, becoming the first and most distant Cistercian foundation in the East.
