Abbaye d'Hérivaux, Gothic abbey in Luzarches, France
The stone walls and pointed arches of Abbaye d'Hérivaux demonstrate the architectural principles of medieval religious construction in northern France.
Founded in 1160 by Lord Ascelin of Marly-la-Ville, the abbey transformed from an inhospitable valley into a religious center that flourished until the French Revolution.
The monastery followed Augustinian traditions and served as both a spiritual sanctuary and administrative center for the surrounding agricultural communities.
Visitors can view the remaining structures of the abbey, including the preserved guest pavilion and farm buildings, by arranging access through local authorities.
During the interwar period, jeweler Georges Mauboussin commissioned architect Paul Ruaud to restore parts of the abbey with new wings.
