Abbaye de Fontmorigny, Cistercian abbey in Menetou-Couture, France.

The stone buildings of Fontmorigny Abbey include a church, a refectory for converts, and fragments of a cloister from different construction periods.

Founded in 1149, the abbey experienced economic growth during the Middle Ages through the operation of nearby ironworks and agricultural activities.

The architecture of Fontmorigny Abbey displays the evolution of religious construction methods from the 12th through the 18th centuries.

The abbey opens daily except Mondays from July to August, 2 PM to 7 PM, with adult admission priced at 6 euros.

Master glassmaker Françoise Bissara created new stained glass windows for the abbey, adding modern elements to this medieval structure.
