Ile de Ré’s oldest religious building

The oldest religious building on the Île de Ré, the Châteliers Abbey was founded in the 12th century by Cistercian monks, who built it to be one of the largest abbeys in western France. Ravaged by the English attacks and far too many religious wars, only ruins remain to remind us of the abbey’s glorious past. Take a bike ride around Île de Ré and let its beauty enchant you.
