Ahun, Information and images
Le Moutier-d´Ahun is located in the Creuse Valley, where a beautiful Roman bridge crosses the river, and in a landscape with numerous streams that flow from the wooded hills towards the Creuse.. <9> <9> The village, which stretches along a main road, is actually the extension of Ahun and was, like many villages in the Middle Ages, created by the merger of two villages, the Lehnsdorf and the lands of the monastery.. ,. ,. The former Moutier, an old word for monastery, dates back to the 10th century.. Boson, Count of La Marche, donated a church to the Abbey of Uzerche for the foundation of a Benedictine monastery.. <9> <9> In the 12th century Moutier experienced its heyday.. But both the Hundred Years War and the religious wars have left their mark.. What is still preserved and to be visited today, we owe to the monks, who tried in 1610 to rebuild.. <9> <9> In 1673 and 1681 precious wood paneling was added to embellish the apse and church choir.. The altarpiece cost 800 pounds, 4 Poincons wine (1 Poincon = about 180 l), 10 sester rye (1 sester = about 1.5 hl) in the manner of Ahun and 22 l ´tip´.. <9> <9> The flamboyan-style portal is still preserved and opens onto the garden and an avenue, created on the site of the ruined nave.
