Abbaye de Cormery, Benedictine abbey in Cormery, France.
The Saint-Paul tower, Gothic chapel, and sections of the cloister gallery remain as principal elements of this medieval religious complex.
Founded in 791 by Ithier, abbot of Saint Martin in Tours, the monastery received abbey status in 800 and maintained strong ties with Tours.
The abbey's monks established water mills along the Indre River, contributing to the regional economic growth through agricultural and industrial activities.
Visits to the abbey require advance reservations through the Friends of Alcuin Association, which provides guided tours throughout the year.
The refectory building survived the French Revolution and subsequent modifications, preserving elements of medieval monastic architecture.
