Lucelle Abbey

Lucelle Abbey or Lützel Abbey (French: Abbaye de Lucelle; German: Kloster Lützel) was a Cistercian monastery in the present village of Lucelle, in the Haut-Rhin department in Alsace , France, but located right on the Swiss border.
The name of the original foundation was Lucis cella, the "cell of light".
Lucelle was founded in 1124 as a daughter house of Bellevaux Abbey , which in its turn was a daughter house of Morimond Abbey . It was dissolved in 1792 during the French Revolution.

Lützel Abbey seems also to have founded a small Cistercian nunnery, Kleinlützel Priory in Switzerland , in about 1136–1138, although there is no direct evidence that they did so or that the women's community at Kleinlützel was Cistercian.
