Abbatiale

TIME : 2016/2/19 0:53:04

Eight kilometres southwest of Orbe, Romainmôtier is wholly dominated by the Cluny order’s Abbatiale, a remarkable sandstone church whose origins reach back to the 6th century. Upon and around its 11th-century Romanesque core were added new layers in higgledy-piggledy fashion over the ensuing centuries. It is frequently the setting for concerts and recitals.
