Abbaye Notre-Dame de Bellozanne, Medieval abbey in Brémontier-Merval, France

The Premonstratensian abbey features a grand entrance gate from the 18th century, agricultural buildings, and the former Saint Marguerite church turned castle chapel.

Founded in 1198 by Hugh V of Gournay, the abbey received royal confirmations from Richard the Lionheart and later from King John in 1200.

The abbey served as a spiritual center with jurisdiction over seven parishes and established the Val-Guyon priory in Bonnières during 1234.

The abbey's artifacts and sculptures are now distributed among neighboring churches, allowing visitors to discover its legacy across multiple locations.

French poet Pierre de Ronsard served as one of the commendatory abbots during the monastery's decline in the 16th century.
