Abbaye du Ronceray d'Angers
Abbaye du Ronceray d'Angers, Benedictine nunnery with Romanesque architecture in Angers, France.
The abbey consists of a main church with semicircular arches, stone vaults, and decorated capitals featuring plant and animal motifs throughout its structure.
Founded in 1028 by Countess Hildegarde, wife of Foulques III of Anjou, the abbey underwent significant reconstruction between 1060 and 1119 following Romanesque principles.
The cloister of the abbey serves as a performance venue during the Festival d'Anjou, connecting historical architecture with contemporary artistic expressions.
The buildings of the abbey complex include the abbatial church, chapter house, refectory, and living quarters, with parts open during temporary exhibitions.
The crypt, rediscovered in 1527, contains a statue of the Virgin Mary entangled in brambles, which gave the abbey its name 'Ronceray'.
