Hambye Abbey, Medieval abbey in Hambye, France.
The ancient Notre-Dame de Hambye abbey displays both Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements throughout its remaining stone structures and cloisters.
Founded in 1145 by Guillaume II Paynel, the abbey served as a center for Benedictine monks until its closure during the French Revolution in 1790.
The abbey functioned as the mother house for the abbeys of Longues and Valmont, establishing a network of religious institutions across medieval Normandy.
The site maintains regular opening hours for visitors to explore the remaining structures, including the church, chapter house, and monastic buildings.
The abbey contains a preserved scriptorium where monks created manuscripts, with architectural features specifically designed for medieval writing activities.
