Abbaye d'Ubexy, Cistercian abbey in Ubexy, France
The Notre-Dame de Saint-Joseph Abbey extends across seven hectares of land, featuring a medieval castle foundation and an integrated chapel with cloister.
Founded in 1841, the abbey began in a medieval castle and received official recognition as a priory in 1847, later elevated to abbey status by Pope Pius IX.
The sisters established a substantial hosties production facility, manufacturing up to four tons of communion wafers monthly for distribution across France and internationally.
The abbey buildings remain in good condition through volunteer maintenance efforts and support from local IME Belval residents who manage exterior grounds.
The monastery founded daughter abbeys in Japan, Koningshoeven, and El Encuentro, expanding its influence beyond European borders.
