Abbaye Notre-Dame du Tronchet, Medieval abbey in Le Tronchet, France
The Notre-Dame du Tronchet Abbey features a classical neo-Greek facade with a single nave dominated by a bell tower and simple interior furnishings.
Founded in 1140 by Alain, son of Jordan and seneschal of Dol, the abbey was established by monks of the Congregation of Saint Benedict in 1170.
The abbey maintains a reconstructed medieval garden that displays traditional vegetables and medicinal plants once cultivated by monks for the community.
The abbey, classified as a historical monument since 1933, houses regular cultural events organized by a local association.
Inside the abbey, visitors can observe an ancient gravestone that marks the burial location of former abbots from centuries past.
