Description

In the 12th century, Cistercian monks founded Châteliers Abbey. It was badly damaged by English army and later during Wars of Religion. The abbey was finally dismantled in the 17th century to build the fort of Pree. Today the Gothic style church ruins remain, built probably around the year 1200.
