Abbey of Saint-Evroul, 11th-century Benedictine abbey ruins in Saint-Evroult-Notre-Dame-du-Bois, France.

The remaining stone walls and architectural elements of the Abbey of Saint-Evroul stand among green pastures in the Normandy countryside.

Founded in 560 by hermit Ebrulf, the abbey reached its peak during the 11th century under the guidance of Benedictine monk Lanfranc.

The monastery maintained a renowned choir and served as a center for musical development, religious education, and intellectual pursuits throughout medieval Normandy.

Visitors can access the abbey grounds daily and use the designated picnic areas near the lake while exploring the historical structures.

The abbey's historian, Orderic Vitalis, documented Norman history through his extensive work 'Historia ecclesiastica' while residing at the monastery.
