Abbaye Saint-Basle de Verzy, Medieval Benedictine monastery in Verzy, France
The abbey complex stands on Mont Saint-Basle, featuring architectural elements from different periods and surrounded by dense forest.
Archbishop Nivard of Reims established the abbey in 664, dedicating it to Saint Basle, a hermit who lived and preached in the region.
The abbey maintains annual Pentecost Monday traditions when Saint Basle's reliquary travels to Reims Cathedral for ceremonial celebrations.
Visitors can explore the remaining structures of the abbey complex while hiking through the surrounding Montagne de Reims Natural Regional Park.
The monastery grounds contain rare dwarf beech trees, known as Faux de Verzy, which monks protected throughout centuries.
