Abbaye de Montivilliers, Medieval abbey in Montivilliers, France.
The stone abbey features a large Gothic church with high windows, a reconstructed cloister, and several 15th-century buildings spread across its grounds.
Founded between 682 and 684 by Saint Philibert as a women's monastery, Vikings destroyed it in the 9th century before its reconstruction in 1025.
The abbey served as a center for female religious life in Normandy, with nuns maintaining spiritual practices and educational activities until 1792.
Visitors can explore the abbey church, protestant temple, former hospital, and gardens through guided tours available in multiple languages.
The abbey's organ, built by Louis Debierre, marked its centennial in 1992 with a concert by organist Pierre Pincemaille.
