Lesna monastery, Orthodox monastery in Chauvincourt-Provemont, France.
Lesna monastery is an Orthodox monastery in Chauvincourt-Provemont, France. The property includes gardens, beehives, and chicken coops that support the daily needs of the monastic community.
The monastery was founded after World War I and moved from Byelorussia through Belgrade and Romania before settling in France in 1950. This journey reflects the religious and political upheaval of the early 20th century.
The monks maintain Orthodox traditions through daily liturgical services conducted in Church Slavonic. Visitors can observe the religious rhythm of the community and how this sacred practice shapes daily life at the monastery.
The monastery is set in a quiet countryside location and is best reached by private transport. Visitors should contact ahead to confirm visiting times, as the monks' daily schedule takes priority.
The community separated from the Russian Church Abroad in 2007 when that organization chose to unite with the Moscow Patriarchate. This division marks a significant moment in modern Orthodox Church history.
