Abbaye Notre-Dame de Paimpont, Medieval abbey in Paimpont, France
The Notre-Dame de Paimpont Abbey features Gothic and Baroque architectural elements with stone vaults supported by buttresses and a prominent bell tower.
Founded in 1136 by Cistercian monks, the abbey underwent major transformations in the 17th century during the Counter-Reformation to accommodate new canonical buildings.
The abbey maintains both religious and municipal functions, with the town hall located in the Grand Logis section of the historical complex.
The sacristy displays religious goldsmith works and ancient books, including the reliquary arm of Saint Judicael and liturgical objects from the 18th century.
The abbey stands next to the Paimpont pond, where the original 7th-century Benedictine monastery was first established by Saint Judicael.
