Informations supplémentaires

The abbey of Gellone is located in the town of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, which is UNESCO world heritage. It was founded in 804 by Guilhem of Orange, Duke of Aquitaine and second Count of Toulouse, a member of Charlemagne's court, later known as Saint Guilhem. The abbey is located on the medieval pilgrimage route to the shrine of Saint James of Compostella in Spain. It's build in the romanesque architectural style of the 11th-century. By the twelfth century, the abbey had been renamed in honour of its founder. And as the site in the Gellone Valley had been selected because it was a virtual desert, we now know it at the Abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert. At the end of the 19th century a big part of the cloister was moved to the USA with the money of John D. Rockefeller II and mixed with parts of other european abbeys. So the damage is huge.
