NOTRE-DAME ABBEY

Abbey monastery and convent

A former chapter of the canons Saint-Augustin, Autrey has a very beautiful monastic ensemble of the th, th and th centuries. It is the only monastic building in the Vosges that has been almost intact to us. Saint-Hubert Chapel is probably the most beautiful Renaissance monument in the Vosges.
