In the heart of a Petite Cité de Caractère, an architectural gem 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.
In search of the stone world: take an extraordinary journey into a world that is both real and fantastic. Search, observe, manipulate, play and you'll find it!
Don't forget to download the Baludik app before your visit.
Agenda 2026 :
Evening performances at the Opéra: July and August
European Heritage Days: 19 and 20 September
Immersive visits to the heart of a Christmas story in the Abbey: 06 and 07, 13 and 14 December then from 19 December to 03 January 2027
