REGISTERED AND CLASSIFIED MH. SAINTES, NEW AQUITAINE. Founded in 1137, this Cistercian abbey on the road to Santiago de Compostela, preserves a rare abbey chapel from the 12th century with a very beautiful Roman-Byzantine facade. In a rare environmental haven of 50 hectares in a single block and free crossed by a river and a Cistercian vestige of hydraulic system, this property also consists of a very elegant neoclassical castle at the beginning of the 19th century, very large and tall 19th century agricultural buildings with exceptional architecture, remains of a medieval mill. The whole thing needs to be restored urgently. Facing the sober semi-circular entrance gate, at the end of an avenue of majestic secular plane trees, stands the very elegant neoclassical castle built around 1840, dominating the U-shaped courtyard closed with stone balustrades, marking on one side a sumptuous 19th century agricultural sheds with monumental architecture, on the other the 12th century Romanesque abbey chapel with a sumptuous facade. The 12th century abbey chapel has a simple basilica plan, which has been shortened in depth as evidenced by the truncated dome of the choir. The particularly beautiful and harmonious facade has three rows of arcades decorated with wolf teeth above a large IHS-engraved pediment installed by the Jesuits managing the abbey estate in the 17th and 18th centuries. Inside, the volume is impressive, we descend into the stone-paved chapel by a large staircase, the vaulted ceiling was decorated with missing domes, one of which was replaced by a pyramid, placed on the outside of the pincer holding a nail from the Cross of Christ. The bays are small, semi-circular vaulted, with beautiful monochrome stained glass windows with typically Cistercian geometric figures. The right side of the chapel bears traces of the covered gallery of the cloister. This church is classified as a Historic Monument and was the subject of official work in 2022 by the Ministry of Culture. The castle was built after 1832, probably around 1840, on the foundations of an 18th century building, in a neoclassical spirit typical of the Restoration, partly in large stone apparatus, with particularly careful architecture taken up at the beginning of the 20th century in a most elegant Louis XVI style. On the park side it has a very beautiful symmetrical facade with 11 bays around a central front body topped with a pediment and decorated with a portico with Doric columns giving access to the entrance hall, all under an attic floor and a balustrade camouflaging the roof. On the courtyard side, the building is L-shaped; The particularly careful architecture presents a very rich Louis XVI ornamentation of garlands, consoles, slits, moldings, pilasters and consoles supporting armorial pediments on each wing. Inside, the crossing hall decorated with antique niches, pilasters and columns in faux marble houses a very elegant and airy staircase in a helical ellipse on a superbly curved stringer, painted with wisteria. On the ground floor, large kitchen, three utility rooms, boiler room. Living room decorated with low wood paneling, a Neo-Renaissance fireplace, access on one level onto the park via a French window.

On the second floor, nine bedrooms, three bathrooms, toilet. An immense and splendid hangar of more than 500m2 on the ground dominates the courtyard, most probably used as a winery or agricultural barn, built in the 19th century, the very luxurious facade in large stone apparatus features a large monumental arch under a large pediment decorated with agricultural instruments in reference to the harvest (scythe, fork, rake, sheaf of wheat, flail, sieve, shovel, broom, and a bombard), all encompassed in a larger pediment covering the building. Inside, the splendid volume is structured with monumental columns, leaving the volume very airy and easy to use. In the 20th century this place was used as a winery, in a corner a distillery was built. Another large shed used as a cellar is located next to the castle, on its facade we can see niches.
