Ambronay Abbey ({{lang-fr|Abbaye Notre-Dame d'Ambronay}}; Abbey of Our Lady, Ambronay) is a Benedictine abbey, founded in the 11th century by Barnard de Romans,which stands in the commune of Ambronay in the Ain department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

History

A church was founded on the site by hermits in the 7th century, but this was destroyed by Saracens. A monastery was built here in around 803 by Saint Bernard of Vienne, the first abbot.

Most of the abbey was destroyed during the French Revolution in 1793[1] but the church, although converted into stables, survived and is once again a place of worship.

Description

The surviving structures comprise a cloister and some buildings surrounding it, and the former abbey church, now the parish church of Ambronay. It is principally a Gothic building of the mid-13th century, with 15th-century additions, although the façade of one of the naves dates from the 9th century.

The church is regarded as a sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary.[2]

Its excellent acoustics have led to its hosting the Ambronay Festival, an international festival of Baroque music.[3]
