Old ruins at Jedburgh Abbey, Scotland - Fotografía de stock

Jedburgh Abbey was founded in 1138 by King David I of Scotland for Augustinian monks. The proximity to the English Border meant also that the abbey was badly damaged and rebuilt several times during the Wars of Independence. The abbey was attacked at least eight times in the 15th and 16th century before falling victim – like so many others of its time – to the Reformation. The architecture is a mix of Romanesque and early Gothic architecture.
