A remarkable abbey in Cazedarnes, the last example of Romanesque architecture in the region.

This abbey is the ultimate example of Romanesque architecture in the region; it dates back to the 13th century. Following the religious conflicts and in spite of the reconstructions, the abbey declined and was sold during the Revolution. Of the church, only the transept, the apse and the apsidioles remain, in very good condition. The remains of the cloister are dazzling and the work room, intact, has been transformed into a museum to display fragments of arches, small columns and decorated capitals. In the middle of this room was found a bell foundry from the 12th century.

Très jolie petite abbaye qui accepte les chiens. Nous avons donc pu profiter de la visite et faire une balade dans les environs. Il y a eu un gros travail car l'abbaye a été détruite à plusieurs reprises, mais l'ensemble est vraiment charmant et rend compte de la période au moyen âge. Accueil très agréable.
