Abbaye Notre-Dame d'Argenteuil, Medieval Benedictine abbey in Argenteuil, France
The Notre-Dame d'Argenteuil Abbey features architectural elements including twenty-four stone fragments, capitals, abacuses, and small columns from various construction periods.
Founded in the 7th century by Ermenric and Nummane, the abbey received its first official mention in 697 when King Childebert IV granted it a forest.
The abbey served as an educational center for noble daughters during the Merovingian period and maintained traditions of ceramic craftsmanship throughout its operation.
The archaeological remains of the abbey, located in central Argenteuil near the Seine River, are protected under French heritage designation since November 14, 1996.
The abbey housed the Holy Tunic relic, reportedly deposited by Charlemagne in 803, which attracted numerous pilgrims until the 14th century.
