Abbaye Saint-Pierre, Medieval abbey in Vertheuil, France.

Saint-Pierre Abbey displays round arches and thick stone walls, representing the fundamental elements of Romanesque architecture in its main structure.

Established before 1081 under William VIII of Aquitaine, the abbey experienced significant damage during the Religious Wars of 1577.

The Augustinian canons maintained this religious center as a place of prayer and education from the twelfth century onward.

Located in central Vertheuil, the abbey has been municipal property since 1973 and benefits from multiple historical monument protections.

The baptismal fonts and carved lectern represent rare liturgical furniture elements preserved within the Bordeaux region.
