Augustinian Priory of Serabonne

“Late have I love you, O Beauty so ancient…”

The Augustinian Canons founded a Priory at Serabonne in 1082, using a church that already existed there. But much work was done on it and a largely new church was consecrated in 1151. The Canons served the people of this region well into the 15th century. The capitals of both the experior cloister and the interior tribune are remarkable.
