Abbaye Saint Barthélémy de Bénévent-l'Abbaye

"A beautiful Romanesque abbey set in a lovely small village - dominates the countryside. The highlights are the stunning stained glass windows and sculptures at the top of the columns. Well worth a visit"

"Beautiful 11th century church with romanesque columns, great woodwork at the entrance and intricate architecture in the centre. A bit 'over restored' in a recent restoration so it lost a bit of character, unfortunately. Paintings are in bad shape, but well worth checking out. Nice former medicinal garden with some benches in the shade. Architectural plans are on the board near the entrance. Check them out."

"Simple and stunning"

"Sehr schöne Abtei, wir sahen sie von außen . An gegliedert ist ein schöner Abteigarten und ein Museum. In den Museum kann man sehr schön erkennen wie Dinge aus dem Abteigarten verwertet werden. Herstellung von Medikamenten, Färbemittel, Duftstoffe und Gemüse."

"Rénovée et imposante dans le village. Malgré la pluie une belle visite pour le village et l'abbaye..."
