À propos du lieu

Abbaye de Grandmont
Grandmont, 87240 Saint-Sylvestre
  • Haute-Vienne
  • Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Grandmont is a village located in the heart of the Ambazac mountains that developed around the abbey and has long benefited from its economic benefits. Until the 18th century, notaries and judges resided there in connection with the sovereign power exercised by the Grandmontains on a territory of about 700 hectares surrounding the abbey, called the "Franchise". Craftsmen worked for the abbey and the whole village benefited from the passage of pilgrims and often illustrious visitors who stopped or stayed there. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the village was the most populated group of the commune before declining in the course of the same century.
Built in the 12th century, the monastery becomes the center of the Order of Grandmont. Playing an important diplomatic role in a border region between the domains of the king of France and Aquitaine under English domination, the site receives the visit of prestigious characters, several popes and kings of England Henry II, John Witho
