Glanfeuil Abbey (Abbaye de Glanfeuil, also known as Abbaye de Saint-Maur-sur-Loire), was a French Benedictine monastery in Anjou. The village of Saint-Maur-sur-Loire is in the commune of Le Thoureil, in the diocese of Angers and the modern department of Maine-et-Loire. Glanfeuil claimed to be the oldest Benedictine foundation in Gaul. A scholarly view makes Rorgon I of Maine the founder or patron, in 824. Odo became abbot in the 850s. In 868 the monks of Glanfeuil founded a second monastery, at Saint-Maur-des-Fossés.

  • Glanfeuil Abbey (Abbaye de Glanfeuil, also known as Abbaye de Saint-Maur-sur-Loire), was a French Benedictine monastery in Anjou. The village of Saint-Maur-sur-Loire is in the commune of Le Thoureil, in the diocese of Angers and the modern department of Maine-et-Loire. In a long history, it was founded in legend by Saint Maurus, according to the account of abbot Odo of Glanfeuil; or by Benedict of Nursia himself, the teacher of Maurus. There is now an official view that the founder Saint-Maur, or Maurus of Glanfeuil, is a distinct person. The site is thought to be that of a Gallo-Roman villa, and the religious community may date back to the sixth century. Glanfeuil claimed to be the oldest Benedictine foundation in Gaul. A scholarly view makes Rorgon I of Maine the founder or patron, in 824. Odo became abbot in the 850s. In 868 the monks of Glanfeuil founded a second monastery, at Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. The abbey was destroyed by the Normans, but rebuilt. It was suppressed in 1790, as a result of the French Revolution. Then it was refounded in the surviving structures, in 1890, by Louis-Charles Couturier.
