Saint-Leu-d'Esserent Abbey, Gothic abbey in Saint-Leu-d'Esserent, France
Saint-Leu-d'Esserent Abbey features an aisled transeptless basilica structure with five radiating chapels and an ambulatory surrounding the central hemicycle.
Founded in 1140, this Benedictine abbey of the Clunaic order became a significant architectural development during the medieval period in northern France.
The abbey's design shares architectural elements with Senlis Cathedral, demonstrating the spread of Gothic construction techniques throughout the Oise region.
