Robertsbridge Abbey, Cistercian abbey ruins in Salehurst and Robertsbridge, United Kingdom.
The site contains upstanding remains of the south range with a rectangular stone structure featuring pointed recesses and round-headed windows near the River Rother.
Founded in 1176 by Cistercian monks, the abbey operated until 1538 when Henry VIII ordered its suppression during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
The abbey complex included an adjacent Abbot's house from 1250, showcasing medieval architectural elements with ribbed vaulting and a king-post roof structure.
Archaeological excavations in 1935, 1959, and 1966 revealed medieval tiles and remnants of various structures, including a gatehouse and water management systems.
The abbey changed its location during the 13th century, as documented in a 1314 charter referencing the original chapel site in Salehurst.
