Fontevraud Abbey, also known as the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, is a historic site located in Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, France. Established in the 11th century, the abbey has a rich history as a double monastery, housing both monks and nuns. It is famous for serving as the burial place of several members of the French and English royalty, including Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Richard the Lionheart. The abbey features remarkable architecture blending Romanesque and Gothic styles, with an abbey church, cloister, monastic buildings, and gardens. Once repurposed as a prison during the French Revolution, it has since become a major cultural site, including a hotel, restaurant, cultural center, and museum. The abbey is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in acknowledgment of its historical and architectural significance.
