Abbaye Notre-Dame de Châtillon, Medieval abbey in Châtillon-sur-Seine, France.

The Notre-Dame de Châtillon Abbey stands near the Seine River, featuring stone architecture with religious structures built during the 12th century.

Founded in 1138, the abbey changed its name from Saint-Vorles to Notre-Dame when it joined the Order of Regular Canons of Arrouaise in 1142.

The abbey maintains a collection of manuscripts and printed materials stored in the Municipal Library of Châtillon-sur-Seine and departmental archives.

The abbey buildings now house the Museum of Châtillonnais, while the abbey church continues to function as a place of worship.

The wooden door panels of the church entrance date from the 17th century, with ironwork potentially originating from the 12th-13th centuries.
