Fondée en 1202, l'Abbaye Saint-Martin de Mondaye appartient à l'Ordre de Prémontré. Dans de remarquables bâtiments conventuels reconstruits au XVIIIème siècle, des chanoines prémontrés se consacrent à la prière et au service de l'Église. Les moines vivent une vie réglée par les cérémonies qui sont entierement chantées avec une intensité remarquable.

L'abbaye est le chef d'oeuvre d'Eustache Restout, né à Caen (Normandy - France) le 12 novembre 1655, architecte, graveur et peintre. Religieux prémontré il est mort sous-prieur de l’abbaye de Mondaye le 1er novembre 1743.

The monks communal life of a Christian monastery, in Europe these days.

Venue là en 1979 et y ayant séjourné , c'est avec émotion et admiration pour les prises de vues que j'ai revisité les lieux . Deux remarques : 1- quelques sous-titres pour ceux qui ne connaisse pas seraient les bienvenus . 2- regret de ne pas revoir la remarquable salle ou nous prenions nos repas avec sa porte à "support " central . Merci .

Absolutely phantastic. This gallery is a true piece of art. Each shot has real atmosphere. Every shot has breathing life. The gallery shows that it's a living place, not a dead museum. You caught unique moments and details. It's not just "me, too" shots that every average tourist could have taken. You showed great skill for image composition and just the right amount of light. And the gallery shows that it's a living place, not a dead museum.
