Prieuré d'Ambialet, Romanesque priory in Ambialet, France.

The Notre-Dame de l'Oder priory stands on a hill overlooking the Tarn River, featuring a chapel built from schist stone and a distinctive bell tower.

The Benedictine monks from Saint-Victor Abbey in Marseille took possession of the priory in 1057, following land grants from Frotaire II and Raymond-Bernard Trencavel.

The chapel, designated as a historical monument since 1886, maintains Romanesque architectural elements, including massive pillars supporting a barrel vault ceiling.

The priory, located at 59 Route du Prieuré in Ambialet, Tarn department, is managed by the municipality and open to visitors during scheduled hours.

Franciscan monks undertook a complete restoration of the building in 1865, preserving the remaining structures of the medieval monastery, including the chapel and refectory.
