ABBAYE DE JONCELS

Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens Abbey. This Benedictine abbey was most likely built in the 7th century. Dependent on the Psalmody Abbey from the 10th to the 12th century, it joined forces with Saint-Victor de Marseille in the 14th century. Only a few of the Romanesque elements still remain, including the western section of the old cloister (12th century). Ruined during the Wars of Religion, it was restored in the 17th century. The northern gallery dates from the beginning of the 18th century.
