Grandselve Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Bouillac, France
The stone structures of Grandselve Abbey spread across the grounds of Bouillac, featuring architectural elements typical of 12th-century Cistercian construction methods.
Founded in 1114 by Gerald of Sales as a hermitage, the monastery transitioned to become a daughter house of Clairvaux Abbey in 1145.
The abbey established the College of St. Bernard in Toulouse, contributing to theological education and regional intellectual development during medieval times.
The monastery maintained two wine cellars in Bordeaux and developed agricultural activities through mills and vineyards across its extensive territories.
The remains of William VI and William VII, Counts of Montpellier, were interred within the abbey grounds, marking its status among noble families.
