Abbaye de Jarcy, Medieval monastery in Varennes-Jarcy, France.
The Notre-Dame de Gercy Abbey extends across several buildings, featuring 18th-century architecture with remaining elements of the original medieval construction.
Founded in 1269 by the Countess of Toulouse and Poitiers, the abbey operated under Saint Augustine's order until 1515, when it adopted Benedictine principles.
The monastery preserves stained glass windows from 1652, with additional sections displayed at the Musée de Cluny in Paris.
The abbey complex includes gardens, walking paths, a gift shop, and parking facilities for visitors arriving by car from the Paris region.
During the 1652 Fronde civil war, the abbey suffered extensive damage from both Lorraine and Turenne troops, leading to significant reconstruction efforts.
