Louroux Abbey

Louroux Abbey (French: Abbaye de Louroux) was a Cistercian monastery located in Vernantes, Pays de la Loire, France.

The church was consecrated on September 14, 1179 and the abbey was ruled by Cistercians until 1791.

The property was seized during the Revolution and for thirty years was vacant.

Following the Restoration, the property came into private hands and the majority of the historic Abbaye was demolished, leaving vestiges of the old structure in a park-like setting.

A new home was constructed on the site of the former abbot’s residence in the Italian style popular in that period.
