Prieuré de Chanteuges, Benedictine abbey on basalt rock in Chanteuges, France.
The priory stands at an altitude of 540 meters at the confluence of the Allier and Desges rivers, featuring a church, cloister, and various buildings.
Founded in 936 by Claude and Engalmode, the abbey received support from influential lords and gained royal confirmation from Louis IV in 942.
The Romanesque church contains a four-bay nave and 15th-century ribbed vaults, representing architectural developments from different construction periods.
The monument remains open to visitors throughout the year without entrance fees and includes dedicated parking facilities near the premises.
During the Wars of Religion, the priory provided shelter to monks from La Chaise-Dieu Abbey after their monastery burned down in 1572.
