Abbaye Notre-Dame de l'Assomption de Châtres
Abbaye Notre-Dame de l'Assomption de Châtres, Romanesque abbey in Saint-Brice, France.
The Notre-Dame de l'Assomption de Châtre Abbey extends 45 meters in length with three domes supported by pendentives and a polylobed portal.
Founded around 1000 or 1077 by the lord of Bourg-Charente, the abbey experienced substantial damage during the Wars of Religion in the 16th century.
The abbey housed Augustinian canons who lived in community, following principles of absolute poverty and dedicating their lives to religious service.
The religious monument opens for guided tours during summer months, allowing visitors to explore its architectural features and historical significance.
The abbey church combines a single-nave design with three domes, featuring a flat chevet rebuilt in the 14th century with ribbed vaults.
