Abbaye du Moutier, Romanesque abbey in Thiers, France.
The abbey features a fortified residence with an ogival door from the 11th century, flanked by two towers, including one with a spiral staircase.
Founded in the 11th century, the abbey became affiliated with Cluny in 1011 and maintained this status until 1782, despite numerous floods from the Durolle river.
The interior decoration of the residence displays late 18th-century refinement, with inhabited apartments that remain active within the historical structure.
Visitors can explore the abbey during July and August, with guided tours available to discover the architectural elements and historical significance.
The western facade contains a tower with two distinct reconstruction periods: one level from the 13th century and another from the 19th century.
