Abbaye de Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer, Benedictine abbey in Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer, France.

The stone buildings of Saint-Jacut Abbey stand at the tip of a peninsula in Brittany, surrounded by the waters of the English Channel.

Founded in the 5th century by Saint Jacut, the monastery was destroyed by Norman invasions in 878 and later rebuilt as a Benedictine abbey in 1008.

The abbey functions as a spiritual retreat center, offering conferences, meditation sessions, and theological training programs throughout the year.

Visitors can reserve rooms for overnight stays with full board options while participating in various spiritual and educational activities at the abbey.

The Sisters of the Immaculate of Saint-Méen-le-Grand transformed the abbey into a summer accommodation facility in 1876 to support their free school initiative.
