Abbaye de Jovilliers, Premonstratensian abbey in Stainville, France
The monastery features two massive square towers connected by a curved portal, all constructed with Savonnières stone from the region.
In 1132, Geoffroy III of Joinville, Seneschal of Champagne, donated the land to Herbert, Abbot of Rieval, for founding this Premonstratensian abbey.
The abbey church, dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, functioned as a parish for farmers established in the lower courtyard.
The perimeter contains preserved 18th-century outbuildings, cloisters, and a central courtyard dominated by the abbey church facade.
The basement vaults reveal medieval foundations and contain a warming room, bread oven, and specialized storage areas for vegetables and wine.
