Abbaye de Beaugerais, Cistercian abbey in Loché-sur-Indrois, France
The stone walls of Beaugerais Abbey contain sections of the original nave and remnants of a subsequent church structure near Loches Forest.
Founded in 1153 by a hermit with support from Sainte-Barbe-en-Auge Abbey, the monastery flourished for two centuries through donations from regional nobility.
The architectural design followed Cistercian principles, featuring a single nave and simple materials that emphasized the monastic commitment to austerity.
The remaining structures of the abbey, registered as a historical monument since 1938, stand at coordinates 47.061031, 1.167858 in Indre-et-Loire department.
The monastery's location along a pilgrimage route between Montrésor and Châtillon-sur-Indre made it a regular stop for travelers to Santiago de Compostela.
