Abbey of Regina Laudis, Benedictine monastery in Bethlehem, Connecticut, US.
Located on 400 acres of land, Regina Laudis Abbey houses a community of 40 nuns who follow the Benedictine tradition of prayer and work.
Robert Leather, a Protestant industrialist, donated the initial property in 1947 to Mother Benedict Duss and Mother Mary Aline Trilles from France's Jouarre Abbey.
The monastic community maintains a theater for summer productions and creates various artworks, including pottery, candles, and recordings of Gregorian chants.
Visitors can acquire handmade items such as pottery, candles, honey, and dairy products at the Monastic Art Shop near the main entrance.
Sister Noella Marcellino combines her expertise in microbiology with traditional cheese-making methods, earning recognition through a PBS documentary.
