Abbaye de Saint-Maurin, Benedictine abbey in Saint-Maurin, France.
The Saint-Maurin Abbey displays Romanesque remains with a preserved choir, carved capitals and sections of the twelfth-century cloister.
Founded in 1082 and affiliated with the Cluny order, the abbey received consecration in 1097 before suffering damage during the Hundred Years War.
The choir capitals narrate through sculptures the life of Saint Maurin, a sixth-century Christian martyr who was decapitated in the region.
The Friends of the Abbey Association arranges guided tours, concerts and exhibitions within this classified historical monument.
The site maintains a sixteenth-century abbot's castle that demonstrates the transformation of monasteries into residences for commendatory abbots.
