Blasimon Abbey, Romanesque abbey in Blasimon, France
The Saint-Nicolas Abbey stands at the bottom of Gamage Valley, featuring an entrance that demonstrates 12th-century Romanesque architectural elements.
Founded in the 10th century, this Benedictine abbey underwent significant modifications during the 15th and 16th centuries before suffering damages in the French Revolution.
The abbey represents a prime example of religious architecture with its semi-circular arches, thick walls, sturdy pillars, and barrel vaults typical of Romanesque design.
Visitors can explore the abbey through self-guided tours or scheduled guided visits throughout the year, from January through December.
The monks created water-filled ditches using the Gamage River to establish natural fortifications around the monastery grounds.
