Tips

Kermit

June 11, 2024

The former Premonstratensian abbey of Sainte-Marie-Majeure (Great Saint Mary) in Pont-à-Mousson, a municipality in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in the French region of Grand Est (formerly Lorraine), was built in the early 18th century in the Baroque style. The abbey, which covers an area of 12,000 square meters, is considered one of the most important monastery complexes in Lorraine. In 1910, the church and parts of the abbey, and in 1919 the entire monastery complex, were added to the list of architectural monuments (Base Mérimée) in France as a monument historique (Wikipedia).

The exterior of the abbey is very impressive, the interior even less so. The complex was actually converted into a hotel. For € 10 per person, you see relatively little and it is actually a demolition!

On the banks of the Moselle, between Metz and Nancy, rises one of the most beautiful baroque abbeys in France: the Abbaye des Prémontrés. Built between 1705 and 1735, it was the spiritual and intellectual centre of the order of the Prémontrés.

The abbey is a masterpiece of Lorraine architecture: a monumental staircase, elegant cloisters, a serene garden and an impressive façade make this a place where history becomes tangible. Once a religious stronghold, later a hospital and seminary, today a vibrant cultural centre and hotel.

Unlike Kermit, I think that a visit to the abbey is definitely worth it, just to look at the round and oval staircase!

And staying overnight in this setting (you don't have to pay an entrance fee) is worth the price of the night. The breakfast is a good basis for a long day on the bike.
