Founded in 782 by Saint Benedict of Aniane, this abbey remains a prime example of monastic architecture in the Languedoc region

Founded in 782 by Saint Benedict, the monastery at Aniane suffered extensive damage during the Wars of Religion. In 1633, it was rebuilt by the Saint-Maur congregation, but the French Revolution put an end to its monastic activity. Transformed into a spinning mill, then a central prison in 1845, the abbey became a penal colony for minors in 1885. After its closure in 1998, the site was abandoned, until the town council purchased the abbey in 2010. Since then, excavations carried out by the CNRS have contributed to its preservation and enhancement.

Que j'avais envie de découvrir la célèbre abbaye d'Aniane, fer de lance du déploiement de l'ordre bénédictin au sein de l'Empire carolingien. La ville aujourd'hui sinistrée d'Aniane, qui n'est pourtant pas dépourvue de charme, aurait dû me mettre la puce à l'oreille. C'est dans un lieu lugubre que je découvrais enfin l'abbaye. Les portes et les baies sont condamnées. Les murs de l'abbaye sont désormais jonchées de tags "artistiques" à la cool. Les années carcérales de ce lieu n'ont pas aidé à sa splendeur. C'est sûr.
Mais quelles politiques concrètes sont menées aujourd'hui pour la conservation patrimoniale de ce lieu ?
