Mondaye Abbey, Classical abbey in Juaye-Mondaye, France
The white stone monastery includes a church with geometric stained glass windows, an ornate organ, and accommodations for forty Premonstratensian brothers.
Founded in 1201 after the death of hermit priest Turstin, the abbey received protection from La Lucerne Abbey and joined Saint Norbert's order in 1210.
The abbey houses religious paintings by Eustache Restout, woodwork elements including carved pulpit and stalls, and sculptures depicting biblical scenes.
The abbey maintains a 65,000-volume library, offers guided tours of the premises, and continues to function as an active center of religious life.
During World War II, the structure endured damage from Allied bombardments in June 1944 during the D-Day invasion of Normandy.
