Our-Lady of the Assumption Chancelade abbey
Our-Lady of the Assumption Chancelade abbey, Romanesque abbey in Chancelade, France
The Our Lady of the Assumption Abbey features rounded arches, substantial stone walls, and barrel vaults characteristic of medieval religious architecture in Dordogne.
Founded in 1129, the abbey suffered damage from English troops during the Hundred Years War and later from Protestant forces in the French Wars of Religion.
The monastery maintains an active religious community that conducts regular services and ceremonies within the preserved Romanesque structure of the abbey church.
