Oratory of the Paraclete, Medieval abbey in Ferreux-Quincey, France

The Oratory of the Paraclete features two round towers, a circular dovecote, and an 18th-century conventual building within its preserved structures.

The abbey was founded in 1101 and gained prominence when Peter Abelard established it as a place of learning and spiritual contemplation.

The Oratory stands as a testament to medieval monastic architecture and represents the intellectual traditions of 12th-century French religious institutions.

Visitors can explore the abbey grounds Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM, with guided tours available during summer months.

The site contains a memorial obelisk marking the original burial location of Heloise and Abelard before their remains were moved to Paris.
