Jedburgh Abbey, Augustinian abbey in Jedburgh, Scotland
The red sandstone structure of Jedburgh Abbey stands with its remaining walls reaching 20 meters in height near the Scottish-English border.
King David I of Scotland established this religious center in 1138, transforming it from a priory into a significant abbey by 1154.
The ornate architectural details blend Romanesque and Gothic styles, with rounded arches in the eastern section and pointed features in the nave.
The visitor center displays medieval artifacts and provides audio guides in multiple languages for exploring the abbey grounds and ruins.
The abbey church maintained its original roof until 1875, allowing it to serve as a local parish church while other sections deteriorated.
