SAINT-MARTIN'S ABBEY
Go there and contact
Immerse yourself in the history of Massay Abbey, a Cluniac jewel combining architecture, stained glass and remarkable capitals.
The village is home to a Cluniac abbey founded in the 8th century, which became a parish church in the 18th century. Burnt down during the Hundred Years' War and ravaged by Protestants, it was remodeled in the 14th and 16th centuries. Its stained glass windows, masterpieces by Gaspard Gsell, date from the 16th century. A pretty 12th-century chapel features magnificent sculpted capitals. The chapter house and monks' dormitory run alongside the Route de Reuilly. This historically rich site is a must-see for heritage enthusiasts and reveals the evolution of architecture.
