Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay

3D Model

Beautiful remains of an Abbey near Paris in the “Vallée de Chevreuse”, a few km south of Versailles. This Cistercian abbaye was built at the end of the 12th century, but slowly lost its splendor until its restoration began at the end of the 19th century. It’s now a luxury hotel.

I can’t say much about it’s architecture, so just follow me thanks to the guided tour for a “promenade” in this amazing site.

3D reconstruction from 200 aerial photos, shot from a helicopter. Strongly decimated to keep polycount low. And the textures are slightly reduced in size and quality.
