La Cour-Dieu Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Ingrannes, France.
La Cour-Dieu Abbey stands in a clearing within the Orleans Forest, with remains including the western facade and northern transept of the original church.
Bishop Jean II of Orleans founded the abbey in 1119, receiving land donations from the bishopric and Sainte-Croix chapter to welcome monks from Cîteaux.
The monastic buildings formed a quadrilateral surrounded by gardens and ponds, reflecting the traditional organization of medieval Cistercian abbeys.
The abbey remains include a large vaulted door from the porter's lodge, parts of the refectory, and kitchens in the southern wing.
Writer Georges Simenon lived at the abbey from 1934 to 1936, using surrounding villages as settings for a Commissioner Maigret investigation.
