L'Étanche Abbey, Medieval monastery in Lamorville, France
The religious complex of L'Étanche Abbey consists of a single-nave church with two bays, a protruding transept, and a polygonal choir from 1770.
Founded in 1144 by Philippe of Belval Abbey, L'Étanche Abbey received support from Bishop Albéron de Chiny and local nobles from the Faverolles region.
The monastery operated as a dual establishment with both male monks and female nuns, while maintaining the Priory of Benoîte-Vaux as a significant pilgrimage site.
The abbey requires immediate preservation actions due to vandalism and abandonment, despite its registration as a historical monument since December 1984.
During his tenure, Abbot Jean François Joseph Boucart assembled an extensive collection of medals and books, which dispersed after the French Revolution.
