Abbaye Notre-Dame de Barbery, Medieval Cistercian abbey ruins in Barbery, France.

The Notre-Dame de Barbery Abbey consists of remaining walls and scattered buildings, including a rectangular structure from the 14th century.

Founded on April 13, 1176, by Robert Marmion, the abbey suffered damage from an earthquake in the 18th century and closed during the French Revolution.

A monk named Gervais de Barbery wrote a rhyming bestiary in the 13th century, describing 29 different animals in detail.

The site maintains its original lateral wall of the abbey church and various architectural elements that visitors can examine throughout the grounds.

Many liturgical furnishings from the abbey were transferred to Saint-Pierre Church in Barbery, including a statue of Saint Benedict.
