Prieuré de Binson, Medieval priory in Châtillon-sur-Marne, France.
Prieuré de Binson is a medieval monastic structure in Châtillon-sur-Marne housing a chapel dating from the 12th century. The chapel displays vaulted ceilings, carved capitals, and tall lancet windows characteristic of its period.
The priory was founded in the mid-11th century and initially served the canons of Soissons. It was subsequently transferred to Benedictine monks from Coincy who shaped its monastic life for centuries.
The blue stone funeral slab from Givet depicting Guillaume de Châtillon and Aliénor de Montigny shows how medieval families honored their dead. This burial monument reveals the importance placed on remembrance and family legacy within the priory.
The priory remains in private ownership and requires advance permission before visiting. Located in Binson within Châtillon-sur-Marne, it is not open to casual visitors without prior arrangement.
From 1930 to 2018, a Salesian community operated a school within the priory using Don Bosco's teaching methods. This extended use brought together monastic tradition with modern education across nearly a century.
