Notre Dame de Morienval, Romanesque abbey in Morienval, France.
The Notre Dame de Morienval features three towers, including a main tower with two rows of bay windows and two lateral towers with three-tiered windows.
Founded as a Benedictine women's settlement in the 9th century, the abbey underwent construction starting in 920 AD and received multiple renovations until the 19th century.
The interior displays ten painted statues from the 16th and 17th centuries, along with carved capitals reflecting Celtic and Merovingian artistic traditions.
Following the abolition of the nunnery in 1745, the abbey functions as the parish church while remaining convent buildings stay in private ownership.
The church contains an early Gothic chapel and features one of northern France's oldest ambulatory vaults, demonstrating the transition between architectural styles.
