CROWN ABBEY
Abbey of the Crown classified as a historical monument, with a modern U-shaped dwelling with an extravagant portal
In this land of Romanesque art, stands the most interesting example of Gothic architecture, in the so-called Plantagenet style, also found in Saint-Pierre Cathedral in Poitiers. The remains of this abbey were used as stone quarries before being listed as a Monument Historique in 1904. Despite the huge sections of the religious edifice no longer standing, the whole remains massive and powerful. Adjacent to the abbey are the converse buildings, a simpler but well-preserved construction probably dating from the late 12th century
