Abbatiale Notre-Dame-de-la-Lumière-au-delà-de-Tout du monastère Notre-Dame-du-Torrent-de-Vie du Thoronet, Cistercian abbey church in Le Thoronet, France
The Notre-Dame-de-la-Lumiere-au-dela-de-Tout abbey church features stone architecture with a central nave and incorporates natural light through strategically placed windows.
The construction of the abbey church began in 1978 and reached completion in 2007, marking a significant expansion of the Bethlehem Monastic Family in France.
The religious sisters maintain silence during daily activities and gather for liturgical prayers eight times throughout the day in the abbey church.
Visitors can access the abbey church through marked hiking trails, including the Santiago de Compostela path, and join the prayer sessions.
The nuns lived in construction site cabins for thirty years while building the monastery, demonstrating their dedication to establishing this religious complex.
