Abbaye du Sauvoir-sous-Laon, Cistercian monastery in Athies-sous-Laon, France.
The monastery complex features stone walls, drainage channels, and remnants of religious structures situated on a platform of silty earth in northern France.
Founded in 1220 for nuns unable to join Montreuil-les-Dames Abbey, the institution received numerous donations that expanded its patrimony throughout medieval times.
The monastery belonged to the Cistercian order under Foigny Abbey supervision, maintaining strict religious practices and manuscript production until the French Revolution.
Archaeological excavations in 1999 revealed multiple building phases, medieval artifacts, and structural remains that document the evolution of this religious complex.
Jeanne of Flanders, widow of Enguerrand IV of Coucy, made several donations to the monastery before becoming its abbess in 1324.
