Where in the World

This is Cluny Abbey, a former Benedictine monastery in Cluny, located in France.

It was founded in 910. Three churches were built from the 10th to the 12th century.
It was used as a stone quarry after the French Revolution, until 1813, to build houses. The archives were burned in 1793, and the church was delivered to plundering
What is left, is less than 10 % of the floor area of Cluny III.

What's left is the transept on the near side of the second photo.
 
This island

(Wikipedia)
is part of a national park.

Here are my questions:
In which country will you find island and national park?
What's the name of the island and the national park?
Which lakes (names) are also part of the national park, and when was it founded?
 
It's nearer to mine than to your location. To give a bit more information: it's in Europe. :)
 
Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia? The park is under World Heritage of UNESCO protection. It territory includes 16 lakes connected by waterfalls "formed by the sedimentation of travertine - limestone."

Here's another photo from the area.

The coastal lakes - there are only a few of them.
 
This is Mount Circeo in the Parco Nazionale del Circeo (Circeo National Park) in Lazio, Italy.

The lakes are Paola, Caprolace, Monaci and Fogliano. All are salt lakes.

The national park was founded in 1934.

If this is correct, please open the next challenge to everyone because I will not be able to monitor a challenge for the night.

Almost. :)
Country, national park and lakes are right.
The island has a different name, and the year of the foundation of the park is missing.
