Psalmody Abbey

[1] The new monastery acquired considerable importance and became directly accountable to Rome.

Its influence grew throughout the region, mostly because of its trade in salt.

It reached its peak in the 12th century, and its decline set in from the 15th.

It was secularised in the 16th century by a bull of Pope Paul III and the buildings were largely destroyed during the war of the Camisards by Catinat, although its revenues continued to be drawn by commendatory abbots until the French Revolution.

The site was declared a monument historique in 1984.
