Notre-Dame of Beaufort monastery, Dominican monastery in Plerguer, France.
The monastery overlooks Beaufort Lake within a forest setting, providing an environment dedicated to prayer and spiritual contemplation at its location in Brittany.
Four Dominican sisters established the monastery in the castle of Beaufort on May 23, 1963, initiating a period of renovation after years of wartime abandonment.
The community of contemplative nuns maintains traditional practices through liturgical celebrations, including daily masses and the creation of religious vestments and preserves.
Visitors can contact the monastery between 10 AM and 12 PM or 2 PM and 5 PM, with a store operating Tuesday through Sunday from 2:30 PM to 5 PM.
The monastery incorporates the Kora, a Senegalese instrument, into their daily liturgical services, adding a distinct musical element to their religious ceremonies.
