Abbaye de Moutier-d'Ahun, Benedictine abbey in Moutier-d'Ahun, France.
The abbey stands near the Creuse River with its octagonal Romanesque bell tower and medieval bridge connecting both riverbanks.
Founded in 997 by Count Boson II of La Marche, the abbey controlled 22 churches and chapels across three dioceses during its peak.
The church interior features oak and chestnut wood carvings created between 1673 and 1681, displaying angels, fruits, and mythical figures.
The church maintains seasonal opening hours throughout the year, with guided tours and audio guides available in French and English.
The medieval bridge retains its original almond-shaped structures designed to reduce water pressure during floods.
