The Abbey of Saint-Thierry was founded around the year 500 by Thierry, a disciple of Saint Remi. In 1968, the Benedictine nuns of Vanves revived monastic life in Saint-Thierry.

History

The surviving chapter house of Saint-Thierry Abbey now serves as a chapel; its capitals are classified as historic monuments. The protected remains of Saint-Thierry Abbey include the walls of the former chapter house and a well marking the centre of the former cloister. Saint-Thierry Abbey can be visited along with its former chapter house and former terraced gardens.

Culture

In the Church of Saint-Thierry, a reliquary casket containing the relics of Saint Thierry is displayed in the vestibule; it is protected as a movable monument. The reliquary casket was probably made in Reims between 1827 and 1890.

The liturgy at Saint-Thierry Monastery is open to everyone; visitors can attend services and the Eucharist or pray alone during the day. Saint-Thierry Monastery has a guesthouse for people who wish to spend a period of spiritual retreat, decision-making or personal reflection in a quiet atmosphere conducive to contemplation.

A trip to Saint-Thierry may be associated with the desire to rent a holiday apartment.

Every two years, the Massif de Saint-Thierry hosts a wine harvest festival that combines the discovery of winegrowing, gastronomy, culture and tradition.
