Abbaye de Longuay, Cistercian abbey in Aubepierre-sur-Aube, France.

The abbey remains include a 19th-century castle, sections of the cloister, and a 12th-century building that housed the lay brothers.

Founded in 1102 by Chrétien de Leuglay and his nephews, the abbey started as a hospital before joining the Cistercian order in 1149.

The abbey demonstrates medieval monastic architecture and illustrates the evolution of religious practices from the 12th to 18th centuries.

Located in the Champagne Forest National Park, the site requires restoration work to preserve its historical structures.

The abbey's tithe barn, classified as a historical monument since 1925, demonstrates the economic organization of medieval monasteries.
