Romainmôtier, source of history and Cluniac heritage

A visit to the mediaeval town of Romainmôtier and its Cluniac abbey church is a must for culture and nature lovers.

A jewel of the Yverdon-les-Bains region, Romainmôtier’s Cluniac abbey church was built by Cluny monks in the 10th century. Visitors can tour this inspiring copy of Cluny’s second church by the traditional method or with a free app they can download on their smartphone. You can also go back to the beginning of the Christian era to admire virtual images of all the monastic foundations that were erected in this magical place over time.

A place to meditate and regenerate, Romainmôtier offers a special sense of intimacy in this exceptional setting created with artistry and sensitivity.

The mediaeval town of Romainmôtier has a wide range of cultural, artistic and gastronomic activities with the opportunity to savour local products.

Nature lovers can enjoy a rich varied network of footpaths through the region.
