Abbey of Notre Dame aux Nonnains, Medieval abbey in Troyes, France.
The Notre Dame aux Nonnains Abbey features stone architecture with a monumental portal, wrought iron gates, and two sculptured lions in the main courtyard.
The religious complex, founded in the 7th century, underwent reconstruction in the 12th century after a fire destroyed most of the original structures.
Archaeological excavations at Place de la Liberation uncovered a church from 1000 AD and a cemetery containing 2,500 graves beneath Gallo-Roman settlements.
The former abbey buildings now serve as the administrative center for the Prefecture of Aube, maintaining their governmental function since the 19th century.
The abbesses held substantial power, including judicial authority marked by a pillory installed in front of the abbey during the medieval period.
