Jumièges Abbey, Romanesque monastery ruins in Jumièges, France
The remains of Jumièges Abbey rise along the Seine River, displaying monumental stone walls and twin towers reaching toward the sky.
Founded in 654 by Saint Philibert through a land grant from King Clovis II, the abbey became one of the most influential Benedictine centers in medieval France.
The monastery functioned as a center of religious education and manuscript production, with scholars like William of Jumièges contributing to medieval historiography.
Visitors can access the abbey ruins daily from April through September, with guided tours available in multiple languages at the entrance.
The abbey earned the name 'Jumièges the Almoner' for its extensive charitable work, feeding and caring for hundreds of local residents during times of hardship.
