Bernay Abbey, Romanesque abbey church in Bernay, France.

The Notre-Dame Abbey features substantial stone walls, rounded arches, and a series of massive pillars supporting the elevated nave structure.

Judith of Brittany established the abbey in 1013, using her substantial dowry lands to create a Benedictine monastery devoted to the Virgin Mary.

The abbey represents early Norman architectural developments, incorporating design elements that influenced religious buildings across medieval Europe.

Located near the Charentonne River, the abbey opens its doors to visitors who can examine the preserved sections of the original 11th-century structure.

The abbey served as a center of justice where the Abbots of Fécamp presided over regional disputes during the medieval period.
