Abbey of Saint Loup, Troyes, Historical abbey in Troyes, France.
The abbey features a remaining structure on Rue de la Cite that exhibits medieval architectural elements with high stone walls and large windows.
Founded in the ninth century to house Bishop Lupus relics, the abbey underwent reformation in 1135 under Bernard of Clairvaux, adopting Augustinian rules.
The medieval library and scriptorium of the abbey produced numerous manuscripts, with potential connections to the writer Chrétien de Troyes.
