The Abbey of Cluny was a Benedictine monastery founded in 910 in Cluny, France. It became a center of monastic reform and played a significant role in the development of medieval monasticism. The abbey was known for its grand architecture and the Cluniac order, which emphasized liturgical worship and community life. At its height, the Abbey of Cluny was one of the largest and most influential monasteries in Europe, overseeing numerous daughter houses. The abbey's influence declined in the late Middle Ages, and it was eventually dissolved during the French Revolution. Today, the site remains a symbol of monastic heritage and architectural achievement.
