Abbaye Nouvelle, Cistercian abbey in Léobard, France.
The Abbey of Gourdon stands on a rocky peak less than 2000 square meters in area, overlooking the Céou valley with its medieval architectural features.
The construction of the abbey began in 1261 following its foundation in 1242 by monks from Aubazine Abbey, and was completed in 1280.
The architectural elements follow Cistercian style principles of simplicity and functionality, featuring a main altarpiece with a tomb altar and tabernacle.
The site, classified as a historical monument since 1995, welcomes visitors to explore the restored remains and surrounding gardens.
Lord Guillaume de Gourdon permitted the establishment of the abbey on March 7, 1242, to avoid accusations of Catharism.
