Joyenval Abbey, 13th-century Premonstratensian monastery in Chambourcy, France

The remains of the monastery stand within the grounds of a golf course, featuring fragments of the original abbey church built in stone.

Barthélemy de Roye, chamberlain of King Philippe-Auguste, established Joyenval Abbey in 1224 near the fortress of Montjoye in the Marly Forest.

The abbey church held the relics of Saint Bartholomew after 1261 and became a center for religious gatherings in the medieval period.

The monastery ruins, registered as a historical monument since 1989, are located at coordinates 48.886111 latitude and 2.036111 longitude.

The canons of Joyenval maintained a town house in Paris on a street that later became known as Rue des Orfèvres.
