Abbaye Notre-Dame de La Couronne
Abbaye Notre-Dame de La Couronne, Gothic abbey in La Couronne, France.
The Notre-Dame de La Couronne Abbey features a preserved cloister gallery, chapter house, and refectory within its monastic structures from the 13th century.
Founded in 1118 by chaplain Lambert, the abbey received religious members of the Order of Saint Augustine in March 1122, marking its official establishment.
The abbey represents the introduction of Gothic architecture in western France, with its design incorporating three zones: cloister, converses area, and infirmary.
The site divides ownership between Lafarge Cement Company, which maintains the residence and courtyard, and the Charente Department, which manages the cloister and church.
Local records indicate that Isabelle of Angoulême received burial at the abbey before her remains transferred to Fontevraud Abbey by her son, King Henry III of England.
