Notre-Dame de l'Ouÿe abbey, Medieval abbey in Les Granges-le-Roi, France.
Notre-Dame de l'Ouÿe abbey stands in the middle of a wooded area, featuring a church, cloister, and sixteenth-century dovecote among its preserved structures.
Founded in 1163 by Grandmontain monks at the request of King Louis VII, the abbey received royal privileges and papal confirmations throughout the Middle Ages.
The abbey serves as a reception center for the Diocese of Paris, organizing concerts and participating in European Heritage Days events.
The property operates as a private venue for youth gatherings and spiritual retreats, with accommodation facilities available through the Diocese of Paris.
Local tradition states that the abbey's name derives from a lost prince who was heard by his companions in the forest, leading to its foundation.
