St. Vincent Abbey, Senlis, Gothic abbey in Senlis, France
The Saint Vincent Abbey features a distinctive chapel connected to the north transept with unusually thick walls dating from the original 1069 construction.
Queen Anne of Kiev established the Royal Abbey of Saint Vincent in 1065, and her son King Philip I later granted additional lands to the religious community.
The abbey developed into an educational center in 1124, forming connections with the Royal Abbey of Saint Victor in Paris and receiving formal approval in 1138.
The abbey complex now functions as a private secondary school and opens its doors to visitors exclusively during European Heritage Days events.
The abbey structure deviates from traditional monastery design by not positioning its cloister on the southern side of the church building.
