Ouveillan - Fontcalvy

Ouveillan - Fontcalvy
The famous Cistercian Fontfroide Abbey (= "Abbaye Sainte-Marie de Fontfroide") (about 20kms southwest) had 24 granges - Fontcalvy was one of them. It was built like a fortified castle between 1297 and 1320. Lay brothers lived and worked here to support the abbey. Fallen into disrepair within centuries a slow rebuilding process seems to have started.
