Maubuisson Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, France
The former Cistercian abbey spans across 32 hectares of land, featuring medieval buildings, gardens, and water systems from different centuries.
Queen Blanche of Castile established the Notre-Dame-la-Royale abbey in 1236, which functioned as both a religious institution and royal residence.
The abbey buildings now function as a contemporary art center, presenting exhibitions of modern artworks within the medieval architectural framework.
Visitors can access the abbey through the RER station at Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, with opening hours varying between summer and winter seasons.
The medieval hydraulic system remains partially intact, demonstrating the advanced engineering capabilities of Cistercian monasteries from the 13th century.
