Abbaye de Moreaucourt, Medieval abbey in L'Étoile, France
The remains of the abbey include limestone walls, Gothic arches, and foundations that reveal the spatial organization of the monastic complex.
Established in 1146 by Aleaume of Amiens before his departure for the crusade, the abbey underwent multiple destructions between 1455 and 1595.
The site demonstrates the monastic traditions of the Order of Fontevraud, housing a community of nuns until their permanent relocation to Amiens in 1636.
The archaeological site tours are organized by Les Amis de Moreaucourt association, under the supervision of the Val de Nièvre municipal community.
Archaeological excavations conducted from 1968 to 1991 led to the rediscovery of the abbey structures, buried for over three centuries.
