Abbaye de la Victoire, 13th-century abbey ruins in Senlis, France
The Abbaye de la Victoire features remaining Gothic chapels, an octagonal stair tower, and flying buttresses along a central pond crossed by the Nonette river.
Founded in 1222 by King Philippe Auguste, the abbey commemorated military victories at Bouvines against Othon IV and at La Roche aux Moines against Jean sans Terre.
The monastery functioned under the Rule of Saint Augustine and maintained strong connections with the Saint-Victor Abbey in Paris until gaining independence in 1287.
The abbey grounds open for visits from September 23 to December 31, with special access during European Heritage Days to explore the architectural remains.
The original church stretched 72 meters in length, containing five-bay nave with side aisles, transept, and choir with radiating chapels around a five-sided apse.
