Prieuré de Grammont, Gothic priory in Saint-Prouant, France
The stone buildings of Prieuré de Grammont display Gothic features with their pointed arches, clean lines, and detailed stonework throughout the structure.
Richard the Lionheart founded this Grandmontine priory in 1197, which continued its religious activities until the dissolution of the order in 1772.
Medieval goldsmith artifacts from the Grandmont collection are displayed through an innovative photographic process within the priory walls.
The priory requires a minimum group of 15 people for visits, with admission fees of 4 euros for adults and 2 euros for visitors aged 12-25.
This monastery remains one of the most complete examples of Grandmontine architecture in France, with only the cloister missing from its original structure.
