Abbaye Notre-Dame de la Faise, Cistercian abbey in Les Artigues-de-Lussac, France.
The Notre-Dame de la Faise Abbey consists of preserved monastic buildings located northeast of Libourne in the Bordeaux wine region.
Founded in 1137 by monks from Cadouin Abbey, the monastery served as a refuge for pilgrims traveling on the Santiago de Compostela routes.
Archaeological excavations in 1977 revealed foundation sections, carved elements, and a nineteenth-century dump that document the site's architectural evolution.
The abbey opens for guided tours during Heritage Days, with advance reservations required and free admission for children under 12 years old.
Maurice Druon, a French author, restored the abbey between 1972 and 2009, choosing it as his final resting place after his death.
