Quarr Abbey is a monastery located on the Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England. It is home to a community of Benedictine monks who follow the Rule of Saint Benedict, focusing on prayer, work, and hospitality. The current abbey was built in the early 20th century, designed by the monk-architect Dom Paul Bellot in a unique style that blends Gothic and Byzantine influences with modernist elements. The site also includes the ruins of a medieval Cistercian abbey, which was dissolved in the 16th century during the reign of Henry VIII.
