Bonneval Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Bonneval, France.
The monastery features fortified entrance gates and a fifteenth-century abbot's residence built upon thirteenth-century foundations.
Founded in 857 by knight Foulques under Charles of Provence, the abbey changed its dedication to Saint Florentinus after receiving his relics.
The monastery gained prominence through Abbot Arnaud de Bonneval, who wrote biographical works about Bernard of Clairvaux in the twelfth century.
The abbey buildings now serve as a psychiatric hospital, continuing their medical service function established in 1861.
During its history, the abbey transformed from a thread factory to an agricultural settlement for abandoned children before becoming a hospital.
