Trinity Abbey, Vendôme, Benedictine abbey in Vendôme, France

The Gothic church features a high stone bell tower with flamboyant tracery, rising prominently against the Vendôme skyline at the western facade.

Founded in 1035 by Geoffrey Martel and Agnes of Burgundy, the abbey received direct papal authority and cardinal privileges by 1063.

The abbey museum exhibits regional religious art, medieval manuscripts, and Loire Valley murals spanning from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance period.

The church maintains one weekly mass service, while visitors can explore the museum collection in the former monastery buildings throughout the week.

Four original Romanesque crossing pillars retain their medieval painted decorations, displaying intricate patterns from the early construction period.
