Abbeys monasteries and convents Vietnam

A ruin, certainly majestic. The construction of the monastery, begun on October 8, 1942, was in fact never completed. The monastery was supposed to house a community of 12 Cistercian sisters who had been expelled from Japan and who had been given a piece of land on this site. They had the time to develop the production of dairy products as well as know-how in the field of jams (strawberry gardens), which became a speciality of the village of Ta Phin. The nuns had to abandon the place in 1945 because of insecurity.
