Abbaye de Saint-Ferme, Benedictine abbey in Saint-Ferme, France

The abbey structures are arranged around a paved courtyard, with access through a corridor at the corner of the church's western facade.

Founded in the 6th century, the abbey underwent fortification during the Hundred Years War in the 14th century to enhance defensive capabilities.

The abbey church contains capitals adorned with plant motifs and historical scenes, demonstrating the Romanesque art prevalent in the region.

The abbey now houses the Saint-Ferme town hall and a museum displaying monastic life artifacts, including Roman coins discovered in 1986.

Six priories, eight mills, and five wine cellars were managed by the monastic community during its period of operation.
