Abbey founded in the 12th century with a gothic style church and monastic buildings classified as historical monuments.

The Cistercian Abbey of Acey was founded in the 12th century and follows the strict rule of St. Benedict: a monastic life of poverty and seclusion. Like many other religious buildings, it was damaged or destroyed several times over the centuries. In the 19th century, the communities of Solesme, Notre-Dame des Neiges and Notre-Dame des Dombes temporarily settled here. The monastic buildings date back to the 18th century, and some of their facades are listed. The church dates back to the founding of the abbey.

C'est un lieu très beau, un véritable havre de paix parfaitement isolé et d'un calme absolu. Bien que nous n'ayons visité que l'église, l'accueil du moine a été remarquable de gentillesse et de disponibilité, répondant avec une grande bienveillance à toutes nos questions. Une petite boutique propose des livres. Juste en face, un espace aménagé avec tables et bancs, idéal pour un pique-nique.

Seule l'église peut-être visitée à certains horaires uniquement...
Toujours très intéressant et bien accueilli.

Most of the abbey is not open for visitors. Sitting in the church was nice though.
