Abbaye de Maubec, Trappistine abbey in Montélimar, France
The abbey complex extends across one hundred hectares of land, featuring traditional Cistercian architectural elements and agricultural spaces near the Rhône River.
Founded in 1834, the Maubec Abbey housed a female Trappistine community until 1991, when maintenance costs forced the sisters to relocate to Blauvac.
The monastery operated an orphanage for young girls from 1849 to 1931, providing education and involving them in silk production activities.
The association Friends of Maubec Abbey, established in 2006, manages the site and coordinates public access during specific events throughout the year.
In 1847, the nuns established a silkworm nursery to generate income, participating in the regional silk industry during its peak period.
