    Founded in the 6th century and expanded by Bernon at the end of the 9th century, the building became a famous abbey, from which the monks who founded Cluny originated. The Abbey of Baume les Messieurs' prosperity began in the 11th century. In the 12th century, it assumed the title of "Imperial Abbey." In 1147, Baume was placed under the authority of Cluny. From this point on, its decline began. At the end of the 18th century, the last monks were converted into secular canons. During the French Revolution, the monks left the abbey, and part of the abbey was privatized. This Benedictine abbey today boasts an impressive architectural ensemble, some of which are typical of early Romanesque architecture in the Jura. The abbey church of Saint-Pierre dates back to the 11th century and has been a listed historic monument since 1849.

      An impressive place with over 1,000 years of history, whose origins date back to the 6th century. It's impressive to walk through these ancient walls.

        The Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Pierre, founded in 909, is located in Baume-les-Messieurs. It replaces the monastery of Baume-les-Moines, founded in the 6th century by the Irish monk Colomban Von Luxeuil. After the monastery was devastated by the Saracens and the Normans, it was rebuilt by Abbot Bernon. He left Baume-les-Messieurs in 910 and founded Cluny Abbey.
