Abbazia di Acqualunga, Romanesque abbey in Frascarolo, Italy.
The abbey contains three naves with two spans each, featuring ribbed vaults and a flat-terminated choir made entirely of brick construction.
Founded in 1204 by the Cistercian order, the abbey received imperial privileges from Emperor Frederick II in 1227 and Henry VII in 1311.
The monastery functioned as a religious center within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Vigevano until its complete dissolution in the late 18th century.
The current parish rectory occupies the former guesthouse area, while the original monastery section south of the church no longer exists.
Three monks maintained their positions as caretakers at Abbazia di Acqualunga until 1798, long after the main religious community departed.
