Prieuré des Basses-Loges d'Avon, Historical priory in Avon, France.
The Prieuré des Basses-Loges features protected architectural elements including distinctive facades, roofing structures, and a formal garden within its grounds.
Built in the second half of the 17th century, the priory began as a pilgrim hospice with twelve beds in 1310 under spiritual guidance.
In 1922, philosopher Georges Gurdjieff established an institute for human development at the priory, attracting students from various countries.
The priory, located at 9 Avenue du Général-de-Gaulle in Avon, opens its doors to visitors during specific heritage day events.
Writer Katherine Mansfield spent her final days at the priory, where she passed away on January 9, 1923 while studying under Gurdjieff's guidance.
