Abtei der Kluniazenser
"L’abbaye de Cluny, fondée en 910, rayonne sur l’Europe durant tout le Moyen âge avec près de 1400 dépendances et plus de 10 000 moines répartis dans l’ensemble des monastères. La mémoire de sa splendeur est incarnée par la Maior Ecclesia, plus grande église romane jamais édifiée puis détruite après la Révolution française. Aujourd’hui encore, on peut découvrir les plus hautes voûtes du monde roman en parcourant les vestiges de cette architecture d’exception. L’abbaye se découvre par un vaste circuit allant des voûtes du transept de l’église, en passant par le monastère du XVIIIe siècle, la salle capitulaire, jusqu’au Farinier avec sa charpente en berceau du XIIIe siècle."

Going there was not super planned for us on our holidays. But it absolutely was worth it! The place is spectacular. Super big with nice explanations and visuals on how it looked once it was build. We were really in the atmosphere of medieval period !
Such a great museum for one of the most important and iconic places of the Middleages. Really kind lady at the ticket office/bookshop, sadly the ancient complex of Cluny doesn't almost exist anymore but the remains are nicely hosted here. A visit to remember!
This beautiful little town has a lot to offer if you're cruising through the back roads of Burgundy, and the Abbey is a spectacular way to spend the day if you enjoy history and ancient buildings. Besides the ruins and restorations, there are 3D films and models to dazzle you. Don't skimp on adding the Tour des Fromages toi your visit spoiler alert - it's nothing to do with cheese. Don't be put off by the declaration of how many steps there are to climb, the view is worth it.
Independent and powerful. William the Pious founded the abbey in 910, placed directly under the protection of Rome. Its abbot enjoys the role of mediator between the political powers and the pope. Cluny will become the mother of another 1,400 annexed monasteries. Sold as state property in 1798, the abbey was dismantled and its church almost destroyed.
Absolutely incredible! Most memorable during our trip to this region! A must see for visitors!
There was a 17 minute film on inside about the abbey but was all in French and because of covid we couldn't use the audio devices usually given to tourists. They should've put subtitles on. Directions throughout the abbey could've been more obvious as we had to backtrack to get back to the entrance. It was great seeing the entire history of the abbey and sad to see how much of it got destroyed. Definitely worth a visit.
Senstively done. Creation then destruction of a medieval masterpiece.
This monument can be on the UNESCO list, but there is almost nothing to see
It is unfortunate that a majority of the place was dismantled and sold off. The place is in a constant state of renovation. There was a nice film explaining the history and the audio guide helped walk us through what was left on the place. Stepping outside and seeing where the footings are represented on the ground shows the shadow of the size of the Abby at one time. So little is left that I don’t know if the money to learn about it is worth it.
A beautiful mix of the old and new! They have many exhibits that use technology to illustrate exactly how the abbey used to look hundreds of years ago. Get a tour if you can for more information, but not necessary. Parking is just along the street. I believe 25 and under is free admission too
