Comment
Cluny Abbey is a Benedictine abbey located in the French department of Saône-et-Loire in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.Founded on September 2, 909 or 910 by the Duke of Aquitaine and Count of Auvergne William I, Cluny became the symbol of the monastic renewal in the West, and was a focus of reform of the Benedictine rule and a leading intellectual center in the classical Middle Ages.
Today, only part of the buildings remain, protected as historic monuments and managed by the Centre des monuments nationaux. The old abbey has the European Heritage Label. Since the end of the 19th century, the abbey buildings have housed one of the eight centers of the Arts et Métiers school, a major French engineering school.
