Abbaye de Nogent-sous-Coucy, Medieval Benedictine abbey ruins in Coucy-le-Château-Auffrique, France.
The abbey stands on the right bank of the Ailette River, featuring remaining stone arcades from the western gallery of the original cloister.
Founded in 1059 by Albéric, lord of Coucy, with his wife Ade de Marle, the abbey developed into a major religious center in northern France.
Guibert de Nogent, appointed abbot in 1104, contributed to medieval literature through his detailed chronicles and theological writings.
The site contains visible architectural elements including four arcade sections and buttresses that showcase the former monastery structure.
A 19th-century château replaced the original abbey but met destruction in 1917, leaving only traces of the medieval religious complex.
