Cluny Abbey
Highlight • Historical Site
Unfortunately, today only a tiny part of what it was remains. Fortunately, there remains one of its huge towers that you reach by moving through the foundations of what this church was. It is very moving.
Begun during the French Revolution, the dismantling of the church was completed by Napoleon I who ordered that the stones of the abbey be used for the construction of the national stud farms.
The safeguarding of the Cluniac heritage is largely due to an American archaeologist who for many years saved its treasures. The art and archeology museum of the town of Cluny, adjoining the main entrance to the ruins of the church, exhibits all its finds.
