Gondon Abbey, Romanesque abbey in Monbahus, France

The stone walls of Gondon Abbey showcase the architectural principles of twelfth-century religious buildings, featuring rounded arches and thick walls.

Founded on January 17, 1101, the abbey received its initial endowment from the lords of Lauzun before becoming affiliated with Fontguilhem Abbey in 1147.

The monastery complex included areas for wine production, which became an essential part of the regional agricultural development during medieval times.

Located 21 kilometers northwest of Villeneuve-sur-Lot, the abbey site contains remaining structures including a preserved medieval dovecote among agricultural fields.

The abbey's position in the Cistercian hierarchy made it both a daughter house of Cadouin Abbey and a mother house to Fontguilhem Abbey.
