Abbaye de Chéhéry, Cistercian abbey in Chatel-Chéhéry, France.

The remaining structures include sections of the 18th-century cloister with two wings framing the courtyard, connected by classified facades and roofing.

Established in 1147 by Archbishop Samson de Mauvoisin of Reims, the abbey underwent complete reconstruction in the 18th century before being sold as national property.

The abbey exemplifies Cistercian architectural renewal through its central portal, grouped windows, and characteristic 18th-century wrought iron stair railing.

Seasonal guided tours allow visitors to explore the site, while the Friends of the Abbey Association organizes various cultural events throughout the year.

The monastery operated its own metallurgical activities from the 14th century, maintaining both a forge and glassworks until the mid-19th century.
