Abbaye Saint-Léonard de Corbigny

Abbaye Saint-Léonard de Corbigny, Benedictine abbey in Corbigny, France.

Abbaye Saint-Léonard de Corbigny is a former Benedictine monastery on a hill in the Anguison valley north of Corbigny. Its buildings were almost entirely rebuilt in the second half of the 18th century. The long stone range has a steep tiled roof, two storeys of tall windows, three dormers and a square tower with a balustrade at one end.

The relics of Saint Leonard arrived in Corbigny in 882, giving the abbey its name and spurring the growth of the surrounding settlement. The monastery shaped local life through its religious and economic influence for centuries afterward.

Since 1999 the abbey's cour d'honneur has hosted the summer festival Les Fêtes musicales de l'Abbaye. Three works made for the site are kept here: Krijn de Koning's La salle Bleue (2006), Lawrence Weiner's Au Pays (2009) and Vincent Mauger's La multiplication des contraintes (2011). The complex is run as the Espaces de cultures du Pays Nivernais Morvan under the Abéïcité project.

Visitors can explore the structure through guided tours that explain the architecture and layout of the spaces. The attached tourist information center can help with planning other activities and sightseeing in the surrounding area.
