Abbaye de Clermont, Cistercian abbey in Olivet, France.
The church of Abbaye de Clermont extends 60 meters in length and 18 meters in width, featuring substantial stone walls and vaulted ceilings.
Founded in 1152 by Guy IV de Laval, the abbey functioned as a burial site for the Lords of Laval throughout the medieval period.
The abbey represents early Cistercian architecture with its simple design, large windows, and absence of decorative elements in accordance with monastic principles.
The abbey opens daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM during summer months, with special guided tours available every Sunday at 6:00 PM in July and August.
The monastery contains one of the largest preserved medieval cellars in western France, demonstrating the economic importance of wine production in medieval monasteries.
