Entering the Cunault church
During the 11th century Benedictine monks built a prosperous Benedictine priory of tufa stone.
The abbey was sacked and destroyed during the French Revolution.
The interior is remarkable for the size and height of its 223 Gothic Angevin style pillars.
These are adorned with elaborate capitals carved during the 11th and 12th centuries. Cunault, France, 2010
