The Abbey of Cluny (Abbaye de Cluny). This former Benedictine abbey was one of the most influential religious centers in Europe during the Middle Ages and had one of the largest churches in the Christian world.
It was founded in 910 AD by Duke William I of Aquitaine.
Cluny was the starting point of the Cluniac Reforms, which called for stricter adherence to the Rule of Saint Benedict.
At its peak in the 12th century, it oversaw approximately 1,500 monasteries throughout Europe.
