In This House of Brede (1975)
A Wonderful Depiction of Benedictine Life

As a former Benedictine monk of 15 years who has visited many cloistered Benedictine monasteries of enclosed women religious, this movie is a wonderful depiction of the the rituals and formation of nuns in Benedictine monasteries. The ceremonies are very accurately depicted and there is none of that silly nun-sense (no pun intended!) that is often depicted in Hollywood versions of movies about nuns. I highly recommend this film and the books as well! The music and the chant are also wonderful.
Does anyone know what Abbey was used for the filming of the movie?
The copy of the movie that I have does not have the credits at the end so I can not figure out where it was filmed.
