Discover the medieval town of Mornant, traces of its illustrious past, from Antiquity, but especially from its rise in the Middle Ages with the construction of the castle of the lords of Savigny, the ramparts and the defensive towers.
Although a Roman aqueduct passes through Mornant, the village owes its development to the powerful Abbey of Savigny, which founded a priory there. This abbey enriched Mornant with an exceptional religious, administrative, and military heritage. The priory endured for nearly 750 years, and Mornant still bears its marks in its medieval town center. Come and discover its history and legacy by exploring its narrow streets, squares, and gardens.
