Bassac Abbey (Abbaye Saint-Étienne de Bassac) is an 11th century Roman building abbey in Bassac, Charente from Ancient Diocese of Saintes style. The church was founded in 1002 by Wardrade Loriches, count of la Marche and first known Lord of Jarnac. It was built to 1015 by Grimoard, Bishop of Angoulême, and aIso brother, Bishop of Saintes. It was added in 1092 to the Abbey of Saint-Jean-D'Angely, until it was departed in 1246. Bassac Abbey was largely reconstructed under Guillaume de Vibrac, Abbot from 1247 to 1286.[1][2]
