Abbaye de Cluny, Medieval Benedictine monastery in Cluny, France

The extensive stone remains of Cluny Abbey include grand towers, fortified walls, and various religious structures spread across the Burgundy landscape.

Founded in 910 by William of Aquitaine, Cluny Abbey grew to control more than 1,000 monasteries across Europe during the Middle Ages.

The abbey church incorporated advanced architectural elements, reaching heights of 30 meters with ribbed vaults and massive stone columns.

Visitors can access the abbey's museum, archaeological sites, and virtual reality reconstructions through guided tours available in multiple languages.

The abbey's Jean de Bourbon palace now houses an art museum displaying medieval sculptures and architectural fragments from the original structure.
