Monastère Notre-Dame de Pitié de Mougères

The Notre-Dame de Pitié monastery stands among vineyards in Languedoc, with dedicated spaces for prayer and traditional sculpture workshops within its walls.

In 1978, the Carthusian order transferred the monastery to the Monastic Family of Bethlehem, following Pope Pius XII's 1950 initiative for new religious communities.

The monastery maintains active workshops where nuns and local craftswomen create religious statues using traditional techniques, combining art with spiritual practice.

The sanctuary welcomes visitors and pilgrims at specified hours, offering opportunities to view the architecture and participate in religious services throughout the year.

The monastery continues wine production in its surrounding vineyards, maintaining the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée certification while supporting its religious activities.
