Reigny Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Vermenton, France.

The abbey buildings include a preserved 14th-century refectory and 17th-century dovecote situated on the right bank of river Cure.

Founded in 1104 at Fontemoy by knight Anseric of Avallon, the monastery relocated to its current location in 1134 through a land grant.

The refectory, dating from the 13th century, now functions as a dining venue that connects visitors with medieval architectural heritage.

The abbey grounds contain facilities for events, including meeting rooms and accommodation options with a capacity of 400 seats.

During the French Revolution in 1790, when the abbey closed, only eight monks remained in residence at this extensive religious complex.

Inception: 1134

Architectural style: Romanesque architecture
