Savigny Abbey, Medieval abbey in Savigny-le-Vieux, France.
The stone ruins of Savigny Abbey encompass a massive church measuring 3,256 square meters with remaining architectural elements scattered across the area.
Founded in 1112 by Raoul de Fougères and his wife Amicia for hermit Vital de Mortain, the abbey led a network of 74 monasteries.
The abbey integrated with the Cistercian order in 1147, adopting their rules and spiritual practices while maintaining its regional influence.
Guided tours of the abbey ruins are available through specialized guides who explain the site's religious and architectural significance.
The abbey's stones were repurposed throughout the region after the French Revolution, with several arches relocated to Château des Louvellières.
