Prieuré de Froville, Romanesque church in Froville, France
The Prieuré de Froville consists of an 11th-century Romanesque nave connected to a Gothic choir and contains a 13th-century cloister on its right side.
Founded in 1080, the Prieuré de Froville represents one of the first Cluniac Benedictine monk establishments in the Lorraine region of northeastern France.
The church's restored Carolingian-style ceiling creates exceptional acoustics, making it a natural concert hall for sacred and baroque music performances.
Visitors can explore the priory through guided tours from May to September, with access to both the architectural elements and the garden containing rare plants.
Three original arcade sections from the cloister were sold to an American banker in 1922 and are now displayed at The Cloisters Museum in New York.
