Lycée Bellevue, Medieval Benedictine abbey in Le Mans, France.
The stone buildings of Lycée Bellevue contain vaulted rooms, marble altars, and two preserved staircases from different construction periods spanning the 15th to 19th centuries.
Founded in 572 by Bishop Domnole, the abbey owned 7,000 hectares of land by the 12th century and included churches across Western France and holdings in England.
The abbey transitioned through multiple roles, from a military barracks to a seminary, before becoming an educational institution that maintains its architectural heritage.
Located at 2 Bis Rue de l'Abbaye Saint-Vincent, the site contains archaeological zones and protected elements under French heritage preservation regulations.
The complex maintains original Maurist buildings and an entrance portal, with archaeological remains of the original cloister, church, and chapter house beneath the grounds.
