Longpont Abbey, Medieval Cistercian abbey in Longpont, France.
The stone walls and Gothic arches of Longpont Abbey extend across a valley, featuring remains of the 13th-century church and cloister galleries.
Founded in 1131 by Bernard of Clairvaux at the request of the Bishop of Soissons, the abbey operated until its dissolution during the French Revolution in 1793.
The abbey served as a center of religious life, where monks maintained a tradition of wine production in extensive cellars beneath the buildings.
Visitors can explore the abbey ruins during weekends and holidays, accessing the site via the Paris-Laon railway line to the nearby station.
The fortified entrance gate from the 14th century stands with twin towers, representing a rare example of defensive architecture in Cistercian monasteries.
