Dalon Abbey, Cistercian monastery ruins in Sainte-Trie, France.

The stone remnants of Dalon Abbey include a chapter house, residential quarters, and a circular dovecote standing in a meadow.

Founded in 1114 by Gerald of Salles, the monastery received support from local lords and joined the Cistercian Order in 1162.

The monastery became the final residence of Bertran de Born, a medieval troubadour who spent his last years there until 1215.

The monastery structures received protection status as a Historic Monument in 1948, preserving the remains for future research.

The abbey established multiple granges across Perigord and founded the fortified settlement of Puybrun in the Quercy region.
