Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Chezal-Benoît
Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Chezal-Benoît, Benedictine abbey in Chezal-Benoît, France.
The Saint-Pierre de Chezal-Benoît Abbey combines architectural elements from the medieval period through the 17th century, featuring a preserved nave and modern stained glass windows.
Founded in 1093 by Eudes Arpin, Viscount of Bourges, the abbey was established by Benedictine monks led by Brother André from the Vallombreuse Abbey in Tuscany.
The abbey church contains contemporary stained glass windows created by artist Jean Mauret, completed in 2023 through a public fundraising campaign.
The abbey stands at an elevation of 173 meters above sea level, situated 37 kilometers southwest of Bourges at the intersection of roads D18, D65, and D115.
The abbey became the head of the Casalian congregation in 1491, connecting multiple male and female religious institutions across the region until 1645.
