Attention! It has been permanently closed since February 2024, because it is too old. It will be dismantled in 2025, and rebuilt in 2028. The planned diversions go through Guîtres or Savignac-de-l'Isle.

https://www.abbatialedeguitres.fr The church of Guîtres is an abbey church; it is therefore the church of an abbey of monks (Benedictine). This abbey, of which only a few traces remain, is said to have been built by Grimoard and Raymond de Fronsac, sons of Hermengarde de Rochechouard, towards the end of the 11th century (between 1060 and 1080). The abbey of Guîtres was therefore dependent on that of Fronsac. The Romanesque style, which dominates the eastern part of the church, is proof that it was shortly after the year 1000 that it began to rise to the picturesque height where we can admire it today. In the Isle Valley, on a hillside where there were three fountains famous even at the time of the Romans (from which the name Guîtres is said to have originated), the Benedictines from Fleury-sur-Loire and Cluny laid the first stone of their abbey on the site of a chapel burned by the Normans. Their work lasted until the 15th century.

Fairly peaceful and quiet

Magnificent windmills.

Former station of Guîtres looking like a castle

It is worth making a short stop and enjoying the enchanting landscape in front of St. Emilion with its many grapevines.
