Abbaye de Cercanceaux, Cistercian abbey in Souppes-sur-Loing, France.
The abbey features buildings constructed with white limestone, including a preserved abbot's chapel from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
Founded in 1181 with support from King Philippe Auguste and the Clément lords, the abbey transformed into a paper mill after the French Revolution.
The monastery complex includes preserved structures such as the tithe barn, monk's dormitories, south wing, oratory, and abbot's lodging.
Located one hour south of Paris in Seine-et-Marne, the abbey offers guided tours throughout the year except on specific public holidays.
In 1323, the abbey's abbot was imprisoned for consulting a demon using a black cat regarding lost money.
