| Recenter Map To This Location |
Cluny and its famous Benedictine abbey, Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul was founded in 910. Its abbots were considered as powerful and influencial as the kings or pope for the role they played in the ecclesiastical reform movement that reached to over 2000 monastaries throughout Western Europe. The present abbaye was built in 1089, and although much of it was destroyed during the French Revolution, its ruins embrace the narrow streets of town and stand proud on the horizon.
