Prieuré du Val Saint-Benoît, Medieval priory in Burgundy valley, France.

The Val Saint-Benoit Priory stands within a dense forest near Épinac, featuring a plain church structure and the Loges chapel in Gothic style.

The priory was established in 1237 by Gautier de Sully following a vow to Virgin Mary and operated until its suppression in 1705.

Since 1982, the Bethlehem religious community has restored the spiritual purpose of the site through their continuous presence and prayer practices.

Located ten kilometers from Autun, this historical monument offers guided visits with specific opening hours throughout the year.

The monastery complex includes fifteen modern hermitages that complement the historical buildings, forming the Notre-Dame-d'Adoration monastery.
