Morimond Abbey, Cistercian monastery ruins in Parnoy-en-Bassigny, France.
The stone remains of Morimond Abbey include fragments of the north aisle, an 18th-century gateway, library building, and several architectural pavilions scattered across the grounds.
Founded in 1115 by Count Odelric of Aigremont and Adeline of Choiseul, Morimond Abbey grew to become the fourth primary establishment of the Cistercian Order.
The monastery influenced religious practices across Europe through its network of 700 affiliated monasteries and nunneries established in France, Germany, Poland, and Spain.
The abbey grounds remain open for visitors who can explore the architectural elements and learn about medieval monastic life through informational panels.
The name Morimond originates from Latin 'mori mundo' meaning 'die to the world', reflecting the monks' commitment to renounce secular life.
