Abbaye de Trizay, Bournezeau, Medieval Cistercian abbey in Bournezeau, France.
The stone structures of the abbey contain remnants of the original church, east wing for monks, and an eighteenth-century southern building.
Founded in 1137 by monks from Pontigny Abbey, the monastery expanded to control 100 hectares of land by the mid-twelfth century.
The abbey established Notre-Dame-des-Châteliers on Île de Ré in 1156, extending its influence across the Vendée region of western France.
The abbey buildings remain private property, requiring advance arrangements for visits and participation in scheduled guided tours.
During the French Revolution, the abbey provided shelter to five monks, a marquis, and a priest escaping from the Terror period.
