  • Founded in 1143 in the wooded valley of the Thar, the abbey of La Lucerne bears witness to Anglo-Norman architecture, between Romanesque and Gothic. Since 1959, for the third time in its history, this exceptional ensemble has benefited from remarkable preservation and restoration work to offer one of the most complete examples of medieval Premonstratensian architecture in France.

    Founded in 1143 in the wooded valley of the Thar, the abbey of La Lucerne bears witness to Anglo-Norman architecture, between Romanesque and Gothic. Since 1959, for the third time in its history, this exceptional ensemble has benefited from remarkable preservation and restoration work to offer one of the most complete examples of medieval Premonstratensian architecture in France. Listed as a Historic Monument in 1928, the abbey strikes with the strength of its history led by passionate men. The emotion is born from the absolute counting of the architecture, its great luminosity and the preserved authenticity of its environment. Your entrance fees contribute to the preservation of the abbey by supporting the "Fondation Abbaye de La Lucerne d'Outremer", owner, who is in charge of its restoration, management and maintenance. Visitors can discover a monastic complex of 5 hectares, preserved in its green setting on the edge of the forest: the Porterie and the church, the refectory, the cellars, the park crossed by an aqueduct, the abbey dwelling with the body of water, the guest room and the dovecote. Mass at 10:30 a.m. on religious holidays and every Sunday. Come and discover the latest restorations and experience unusual visits or family workshops. Shop selling monastic and local products and bookstore at the entrance to the site.
