Abbaye de Saint-Amant-de-Boixe
Abbaye de Saint-Amant-de-Boixe, Medieval Benedictine abbey in Saint-Amant-de-Boixe, France
The abbey features a grand Romanesque church with a vaulted cellar, restored cloister, and 14th-century murals in its underground crypt.
Founded in the 10th century, the abbey was reconstructed between 1100 and 1170 under the patronage of the Counts of Angoulême.
The abbey now houses a museum dedicated to Romanesque architecture, presenting permanent exhibitions about regional religious heritage.
The site organizes guided tours, school visits, and provides rental spaces for meetings and events in its auditorium.
Archaeological excavations in the cloister have uncovered Merovingian sarcophagi, indicating the presence of a 7th-century cemetery.
