Rustovo Monastery

Budva, Montenegro

Rustovo Monastery is located around three kilometres above the Praskvica Monastery. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Holy Mother of God and it has been convent since 2004. The graves of monks were discovered in the monastery yard, which proves that a number of monks lived here as early as in the Middle Ages. Within the Monastery complex, there is a little chapel dedicated to St Benedict of Nursia, as well as a more recent church dedicated to the Holy Royal Martyrs, the Romanovs.

We visited the monastery, a place where you will feel at peace since the arrival. The view from the top over the coast is stunning. We received a friendly welcome.from the nun and gave us a tour of the monastery, telling us the history of the churches, and the miraculous icones in it. Nice clay articles and homemade cosmetic products available to support the community at very reasonable price. We enjoyed a rest in the garden and the nuns offered us refreshments and nice sweets with cherries ("cookies"). We highly recommend to visit!

We went there on a weekday. The road was steep and narrow but worth it. Nuns welcomed us and showed us around. We heard the history of the place and were allowed to take a few pictures. You can also pray to Holly Portrait for health and/or for fertility. No tickets. There is a shop there where you can buy handmade souvenirs made by nuns and herbal products. Prices were reasonable. Nun gave us vater from their spring to drink and a cookie.

Abbey of Saint-Georges

Saint-Georges de Boscherville Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey. It was founded in about 1113 by Guillaume de Tancarville on the site of an earlier establishment of secular canons and settled by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul. The abbey church made of Caumont stone was erected from 1113 to 1140. The Norman builders aimed to have very well-lit naves and they did this by means of tall, large windows, initially made possible by a wooden ceiling, which prevented uplift, although this was replaced by a Gothic vault in the 13th century. The chapter room was built after the abbey church and dates from the last quarter of the 12th century.

The arrival of the Maurist monks in 1659, after the disasters of the Wars of Religion, helped to get the abbey back on a firmer spiritual, architectural and economic footing. They erected a large monastic building one wing of which fitted tightly around the chapter house (which was otherwise left as it was).
