Notre-Dame d'Aunay Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Les Monts d'Aunay, France.
The limestone walls and remaining chapiteaux of Notre-Dame d'Aunay Abbey stand on the northern slope of Mont des Lenques in Normandy.
Jordan and Lucy of Say established Notre-Dame d'Aunay Abbey in 1131, which later joined the Cistercian order in 1147 through Savigny Abbey.
The abbey's 1452 seal depicts the Virgin Mary seated with a crown, holding baby Jesus and a book, with a branch in the field.
The eastern wing of the abbey, reconstructed in 1723, displays a classical facade alternating between limestone and sandstone building materials.
The monastery transformed into a textile mill and cheese factory after the French Revolution, operating until 1976.
