Grange cistercienne de Fontcalvy, Monastic grange in Ouveillan, France.
The fortified stone building features eight buttress towers, a square layout measuring 20.7 meters on each side, and contains two distinct levels.
Built between 1297 and 1320, the grange served as a sheep shelter on the ground floor and storage space for moisture-sensitive goods upstairs.
Archaeological excavations since 1985 have uncovered multiple occupation phases and a square well dating from the late 14th century.
The grange stands 15 kilometers from Narbonne along departmental road D13, with access through an eastern tower entrance.
Among 24 granges belonging to Fontfroide Abbey, Fontcalvy maintains the most complete original structural elements from the medieval period.
