Abbaye Notre-Dame d'Oigny, Romanesque abbey in Oigny, France.

The Notre-Dame d'Oigny Abbey stands in a wooded valley along the Seine River, featuring characteristic round arches and substantial stone walls.

Founded in 1106 by Christophorus and other hermits, the abbey received support through land donations from local nobles of the Burgundy region.

The monastery maintained an extensive botanical garden along the Seine River, continuing the traditional practices of Augustinian and Génovéfain monks.

The abbey opens for guided tours between July 1st and August 31st, with visitor parking available on the premises.

Before becoming an official abbey, the site served as a temporary refuge for Albéric de Cîteaux and Étienne Harding prior to their establishment of Cîteaux Abbey.
