A Benedictine abbey with guesthouse in Dourgne, offering a perfect setting for a spiritual retreat in silence.
The origins of the Abbey of the Benedictine Sisters of Saint Scholastica in Dourgne are intertwined with those of the neighbouring Abbey of Saint-Benoît d'En-Calcat, where a dynamic community of Benedictine monks lives. Founded in 1880 by Mother Marie Crosnier, the Benedictine community began construction in 1886. In 1893, the first wing was inhabited by the first 15 nuns. In 1896, the two monasteries were erected as an abbey. In September 1927, the first building was completed and dedicated to St. Scholastica. She continued to develop afterwards and at the same time was at the origin of many foundations in various countries: in 1921 at Hekelgem in Belgium, in 1927 at Civitelle near Rome, in 1934 at Ozon (today at Pesquié), in 1953 she participated in the reconstruction of the monastery of Valognes and then founded that of KoubrI. Finally, in 1957, she helped to set up the monastery of La Loyère and in 1963 two new monasteries at Dzobegan and Sadori in Togo... Guests for a day, individual or group retreatants, and more generally all those who wish to have a favourable setting for a spiritual retreat in silence, this monastic setting will meet your expectations while allowing you to join in the liturgy of the community. There are three possibilities: the new hostel with a capacity of 10 rooms with independent sanitary facilities, the Gazel with rooms with 1 or 2 beds and small dormitories, shared toilets and showers, or the camp near the Gazel.
