Presentation of: ABBAYE DE NIEUL SUR L'AUTISE

In the heart of a Petite Cité de Caractère, an architectural jewel of exceptional quality, enhanced by a unique restoration, opens its doors to you for a visit on the borderline between the real and the virtual.

The abbey was founded no later than 1069 by the knight Airaud Gassedenier, loyal to the Count of Poitiers-Duke of Aquitaine. It enjoyed the protection of the Dukes of Aquitaine and was granted royal abbey status in 1141 by Eleanor of Aquitaine, then Queen of France.

Saint-Vincent Abbey is one of the few monastic complexes in Poitou to have survived almost intact, with its three components: church, convent buildings and the only Romanesque cloister in the west to have been preserved in its entirety.
