Abbaye de Boquen, Cistercian abbey in Plénée-Jugon, France.

The abbey features stone walls constructed with small masonry elements and large load-bearing sections, following traditional Romanesque construction techniques.

Founded in 1137 by Olivier II de Dinan and Agnorie de Penthièvre, the abbey managed agricultural estates, fisheries, and town houses across several localities.

The western facade displays Cistercian architectural elements, including masonry buttresses and a portal decorated with plant motifs.

The abbey maintains regular prayer schedules and organizes community activities, with information available through their official website for 2024-2025.

The relics of Saint Magloire and Saint Samson remain preserved in the abbey's sacristy after surviving numerous historical events.
