The Monastery of Santa María de Retuerta, now known as Hotel Abadía Retuerta LeDomaine, is located on the left bank of the river Duero near the town of Sardón de Duero in the province of Valladolid, Spain. The monastery belonged to the Premonstratensians and was constructed between 1146 and the 15th century in the late-Romanesque style. It was founded by Sancho Ansúrez, who was the grandson of Count Pedro Ansúrez.
The building was declared a Monumento Histórico-Artístico of national interest on June 3, 1931, and was later designated a Bien de Interés Cultural. The structure has been transformed into a hotel owned by the Novartis business group. In 2016, the property was awarded as the best tourist hotel by Fitur.
Visitors can experience the historic atmosphere of this late-Romanesque monastery. The preservation of its architecture allows guests to stay within a building that has served as a religious site for centuries before its recent transformation into a contemporary hotel.
