Jouy Abbey, Romanesque abbey ruins in Chenoise-Cucharmoy, France

The remaining flat chevet of the former abbey church stands as the last remnant of this medieval religious complex in Seine-et-Marne department.

Founded in 1124 by Count Thibaut II of Champagne, the abbey flourished and established four daughter abbeys between 1141 and 1168.

The church featured pointed-arch windows supported by columns with decorated capitals, reflecting the architectural principles of Cistercian monasteries.

The site lies 10 kilometers northwest of Provins, with the ruins surrounded by an agricultural estate that operates on the former monastery grounds.

The abbey maintained a Paris dependency from 1297 to 1479, leaving its mark in the current Rue de Jouy between numbers 13 and 17.
