Comprising the Notre-Dame church, a priory for women and one for men, a garden and a dovecote

Robert d'Arbrissel, founder of Fontevraud Abbey, also created a cloister near the Envigne river around 1106-1109. This Romanesque cloister would later give Lencloître its name. This new priory was rich and opulent. It contained numerous works of art. The complex includes the beautiful Notre-Dame church (Romanesque), a priory for women and one for men, and a garden. Don't miss the dovecote separating the men's and women's cloisters. Enjoy the square courtyard, park and rose garden.

Eglise - 86140 Lencloître
L’Église Notre-Dame de Lencloître est située au centre de la vieille ville. De style roman poitevin, elle présente un clocher carré, un beau chevet à abside en hémicycle. A l'intérieur, de beaux chapiteaux sculptés du XIIIe siècle traitent le thème des vices et des vertus. Cette église m'a semblé un peu austère et sombre, sans doute car les vitraux en hauteur ne laissaient passer que peu de lumière. J'ai beaucoup aimé les différents tableaux ainsi que, situé dans le chœur de l'église, le magnifique triptyque du XVIe siècle consacré à la Passion du Christ. Il y a également une exposition très intéressante retraçant l'Histoire de la ville. Cette église mérite la visite.
