Grange de Vaulerent, Historic monastic barn in Villeron, France

The Grange de Vaulerent extends 72 meters in length and features a storage building alongside the main agricultural structure with limestone foundations.

Constructed between 1220 and 1230, this Cistercian barn belonged to the Abbey of Chaalis until 1791 when it was sold as national property.

The structure represents traditional Cistercian agricultural architecture, combining functional design principles with the practical needs of medieval farming communities.

The farm currently operates on 500 hectares, producing cereals, beetroot, and potatoes under the Primanord brand for commercial distribution.

The barn maintains its original agricultural function after 800 years, making it one of the most substantial Cistercian agricultural buildings in France.
