Montier-en-Der Abbey, Benedictine abbey in La Porte-du-Der, France.

The Montier-en-Der Abbey exhibits a combination of architectural elements, featuring a Romanesque nave alongside a Gothic choir section from later periods.

Founded in 601 by Saint Bercharius, the abbey underwent reconstruction in the 10th century under Abbot Adso and received reconsecration in 998.

The monastic library contained numerous manuscripts, including writings by Peter Lombard, reflecting the scholarly activities of medieval Benedictine monks.

The abbey structures include preserved sections of the south cloister range, the abbots' lodging, a barn, and a dovecote designated as historical monuments.

Napoleon transformed the abbey into a National Stud Farm in 1806 to breed horses for cavalry use, marking a shift from religious to military purposes.
