Abbaye de Salival, Premonstratensian abbey in Moyenvic, France
The stone buildings of Salival Abbey stand north of Moyenvic, featuring remaining structures including an agricultural complex and a brick chimney.
Mathilde de Salm-Hombourg established Salival Abbey in 1156, with the first canons originating from Justemont Abbey and the community managing salt production sites.
The monastery maintained an extensive library where monks dedicated time to copying manuscripts, with five original volumes now preserved at Vic-sur-Seille library.
The former abbey operates as a private farm and agricultural estate, with buildings closed to public access and limited visibility from external roads.
During Napoleon's reign, the abbey transformed into a sugar factory, processing beets into sugar to counter colonial cane sugar import restrictions.
