Abbaye de Prébenoît, Cistercian abbey in Bétête, France.

The abbey features two main buildings arranged in a right-angled layout with a returned dependency and a southern facade adorned with Ionic capitals.

Founded in 1140 by the abbey of Dalon through a donation from the lord of Malval, the monastery operated until the French Revolution.

The early 18th-century murals in Room A5 and the stairwell display images of the abbey, floral designs, volutes, foliage scrollwork, and botanical patterns.

The abbey remains are now under private ownership and managed by an association that maintains the historical structures and artwork for preservation.

A Gothic chapel door with a trilobed arch and wall fragments stand as remnants of the original medieval construction period.
