Abbaye de Moyenmoutier, Benedictine monastery in Moyenmoutier, France

Abbaye de Moyenmoutier is a former Benedictine abbey located in the village of Moyenmoutier in the Vosges, eastern France. The complex includes a baroque church with carved choir stalls and an organ, along with a large garden area that was restored and opened to visitors in recent years.

Founded around 671 by Saint Hydulphe, a chorepiscopus of Trier, the abbey followed the Rule of Saint Benedict and at times housed up to 300 monks. It was rebuilt in 1345, held in commendam from 1535 to 1661, and in 1604 co-founded the Benedictine congregation of Saint-Vanne et Saint-Hydulphe. The monastery was dissolved in 1792 during the French Revolution, and from 1806 the buildings served as a textile factory.

The abbey was dissolved in 1792 during the French Revolution and from 1806 served as a textile factory; the factory buildings in front of the T-shaped complex were demolished between 2008 and 2010 and replaced by a French garden. The name Moyenmoutier derives from Medianum Monasterium, "middle monastery", for its position among the abbeys of Bonmoutier, Saint-Dié, Étival and Senones. In 1604 the abbey co-founded the Benedictine reform congregation of Saint-Vanne et Saint-Hydulphe, whose coat of arms appears on the choir grille.

The abbey is easy to reach on foot from the village center and the restored gardens allow visitors to walk around the main building and see the facade from several angles. Visiting on a weekday tends to be calmer and gives more time to take in the grounds at a comfortable pace.

The abbey was listed in 2018 on a national register of heritage sites considered to be in danger, which helped accelerate concrete restoration work. This official recognition brought renewed attention to a building that had spent over a century hidden inside an industrial complex.
