An abbey with important reach throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. Founded in 910, Cluny Abbey radiated across Europe throughout the Middle Ages, with its large abbey church of exceptional proportions: the “Maior Ecclesia”. The highest vaults of the Romanesque world still bear witness today to this gigantism. A testimony to the daily life of the monastery, the Farinier (granary), built in the 13th century has retained its original structure. It now houses the capitals from the abbey choir. The Cellar, in the lower part, is also open to the public. The Abbey of Cluny will be renewing its grandeur of the 18th century by a complete reconstruction of the monastic buildings that the monks only used for a few decades. The footsteps of the monks walking in procession still echo in the vastness of the cloister and galleries… A film complete the visit and enable restoring the majesty to what was once the largest church in Christendom. Site with the “European Heritage” label in 2015.
