Abbaye de Cherlieu, Romanesque abbey in Montigny-lès-Cherlieu, France.
The abbey church spans 105 meters in length and 54 meters in width, featuring three naves arranged in a Latin cross configuration.
Constructed by Cistercian monks in 1150, the abbey reached completion in 1220 and developed into one of the largest religious structures in Franche-Comté.
The monastery housed hundreds of monks who managed agricultural lands while maintaining religious practices throughout the medieval period.
The remaining north transept wall and conventual building facades are accessible for visitors, with parking spaces available near the site.
The abbey stones were repurposed for local construction projects after its sale as national property during the 1790s French Revolution period.
