Fontevraud Abbey, aerial view, at Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, Loire Valley, Maine-et-Loire, France. In the foreground is the infirmary, with the Romanesque abbey church behind. The abbey was founded in 1100 by Robert of Arbrissel, who created the Order of Fontevraud. It was a double monastery for monks and nuns, run by an abbess. The order was dissolved during the French Revolution and the building subsequently used as a prison. The abbey is listed as a historic monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
