Abbatiale Saint-Robert de La Chaise-Dieu, Gothic abbey church in La Chaise-Dieu, France.
The stone walls of Saint-Robert Abbey Church rise 20 meters high, featuring large stained glass windows and intricate Gothic architectural elements throughout the structure.
Pope Clement VI commissioned the construction of this church between 1344 and 1350, selecting it as his final resting place marked by a marble funeral monument.
The church houses a collection of 144 carved wooden stalls and the Dance of Death fresco from 1470, depicting figures from different social classes facing mortality.
The abbey church hosts classical music concerts during the La Chaise-Dieu Festival, with seating arrangements varying in different sections of the building for optimal acoustics.
A stone rood screen divides the interior space into two distinct sections, creating separate areas for religious ceremonies and musical performances throughout the year.
