Abbaye de Montpeyroux, Cistercian abbey in Puy-Guillaume, France.
The building features stone structures with remaining portions of medieval dormitories and a chapter house constructed following Cistercian architectural principles.
Founded in 1126 by Foulques III de Jaligny, the abbey received significant donations from Guy II of Auvergne and Guigues II of Forez in the 1220s.
The monastery exemplifies the regional influence of Cistercian architecture through its granite construction and traditional monastic layout with a cloister.
Currently undergoing rehabilitation projects, the former religious complex operates as both a retirement home and a children's holiday center.
A fire in 1685 caused extensive damage to the buildings, leading to an incomplete reconstruction that remained unfinished until the French Revolution.
