Abbaye Notre-Dame de Coulombs, Benedictine abbey ruins in Coulombs, France.

The remains of Notre-Dame de Coulombs include a bell tower base and a porch with rounded arches supported by sculptured column capitals.

Founded before the 8th century, the abbey experienced multiple destructions by Normans and underwent restorations, including a major one by Beranger in 1028.

The abbey materials were repurposed after 1817, with parts of the cloister transferred to Leves and elements preserved in the Cathedral of Chartres.

Located at 9000 Avenue de l'Abbaye in Coulombs, the site contains private areas that require visitor respect and restricted access considerations.

King Louis XI made a documented visit to the abbey in 1475 during his stay with a local lord, reinforcing the royal protection of the establishment.
