A future to be written together
Founded by Saint Wandrille in 649, our abbey is a living place, loaded with a fruitful history, where our community of thirty Benedictine brothers perpetuates a tradition of prayer and work, of silence and simplicity. It is also a unique architectural and cultural heritage that the monks have never ceased to maintain and pass on.
We need you!
The fruit of our work allows us to meet our needs and ensure routine maintenance, but we cannot ensure alone the important projects that must be considered.
This is why we set up this Bathildis project: an exciting human and spiritual project, in which we would like to involve as many people as possible.

Abbot of Saint-Wandrille
