Coggeshall Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Coggeshall, England.

The monastery complex includes remaining sections of claustral ranges, foundations of the dorter, and chapter house at Abbey Farm south of Coggeshall town.

King Stephen and Matilda of Boulogne established the abbey in 1140 as a Savigniac institution, which merged with the Cistercian order in 1147.

The monks developed advanced brick-making techniques in the 12th century, marking the return of brick production in England after the Roman period.

The exterior sections of the abbey buildings, including Saint Nicholas Chapel and Grange Barn, remain accessible through scheduled guided tours.

The monastery's Grange Barn, constructed in the mid-13th century, stands as one of Europe's earliest surviving timber-framed agricultural structures.
