European Heritage days: Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th September – Program

Visit of the abbey, garden, orchards.

The abbey of Auberive, founded in 1135 by Saint-Bernard, is a witness to the great movements of our history. Monastery of the Cistercian order until the Revolution, it will then be sold as national property. Subsequently, the abbey was modified many times according to its occupation (spinning, holiday house, prison for women, correction house for young boys, summer camp, …).
