Mouthier-Haute-Pierre · Doubs · Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

The Priory of Mouthier-Haute-Pierre is an art museum housed in a historic building that was once one of the great Benedictine abbeys of Burgundy, founded in the 9th century and affiliated with the Cluniac order in 1120. The museum offers a tour of ten exhibition rooms dedicated to works by painters from Franche-Comté, highlighting regional artistic talent. Located in the village of Mouthier-Haute-Pierre, in the upper Loue valley in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, the site benefits from a historic and scenic setting marked by the surrounding cliffs and gorges. The establishment welcomes visitors within the majestic framework of the priory, a space conducive to discovering local heritage in both its artistic and architectural dimensions.
