Prieuré de Fontblanche, Medieval priory in Genouilly, France

The Prieuré de Fontblanche features three remaining buildings of the original quadrilateral structure, including a chapel, east wing, and south wing.

Founded between 1140 and 1145 by Lord Renaud IV of Graçay, the priory belonged to the Order of Grandmont until its dissolution in 1772.

The chapter house displays architectural elements specific to the Grandmontain order, with a door flanked by triple colonettes opening to the cloister.

Visitors can access the priory by taking the Route de Maray and turning at the farm buildings, where dedicated parking spaces are available.

The monks' dormitory contains twelve windows and connects to a passage historically known as the corridor of the dead.
