Abbaye d'Abondance, Gothic abbey in Abondance, France
The Abbaye d'Abondance features stone walls, pointed arches, and a cloister with seven radiating chapels in its architectural design.
The abbey, established in 1108 by Saint-Maurice-d'Agaune canons, evolved from a priory to a full monastery status between 1138 and 1144.
The cloister walls display 15th-century murals depicting Mary's life, regional customs, and medieval Piedmontese decorative elements.
The religious complex provides guided tours of the church, cloister, and exhibitions about sacred heritage in the Abondance Valley.
The monastery collection contains exceptional religious artifacts, including a 15th-century chalice and an antiphonary from the same period.
