Tips from the Community

JakobusPilger
July 24, 2025, Ancien Cimetière Juif de Bouzonville

In the Jewish faith, cemeteries – such as the "Cimetière Israélite" in Busendorf – are truly "resting places for eternity." The practice common in France or Germany (and many other countries), for example, whereby gravesites are "purchased" for a limited period of time, say 20 years, and are then cleared and released after this period, is completely alien to Jewish thought. A note for male visitors: As a sign of respect for our "elder brothers in the faith" (a quote from Pope John Paul II), gentlemen are asked to wear a head covering when entering a Jewish cemetery – provided it is open to the public.

⛪ **Saint-Croix Abbey in Bouzonville – Monastic Tradition with a Rich History** The **Saint-Croix Abbey** in **Bouzonville** is one of the oldest monastic complexes in the region. Founded in the **11th century**, it was a spiritual center between the Moselle and Saar rivers for centuries. The Romanesque-Gothic architecture of the monastery church has been rebuilt and restored several times, but its origins remain. 📜 After its dissolution during the French Revolution, the monastery was partially destroyed but later returned to religious use. Today, it is inhabited by a **Benedictine community** that welcomes visitors. **Tip:** The simple, spiritual atmosphere of the complex invites you to pause for a moment. Ideal for a quiet stroll or a quick visit to the monastery shop – featuring handmade products made by the nuns.

The Bisten is a charming river that widens at this point to offer a beautiful view of a body of water in the middle of the woods.

Located right on the road and hard to miss, the old Jewish cemetery of Bouzonville is spread out over numerous terraces. It's definitely worth stopping to take a look at the old gravestones.
