Prieuré des Hautes-Bruyères, Medieval priory in Saint-Rémy-l'Honoré, France.
The priory features a tympanum decorated with an engraved Virgin and Child on the main building facade and several medieval cloister arcades.
Established in 1114 by Amaury III de Montfort for his sister Bertrade, former wife of King Philip I, this priory belonged to the Fontevraud order.
The site served as a burial place for the lords of Montfort-l'Amaury, including Simon de Montfort whose body was transported here in 1224.
Documents relating to the priory can be consulted at the Heritage and Photography Media Library in Charenton-le-Pont.
The heart and entrails of King Francis I, who died at Rambouillet Castle in 1547, were preserved in this priory until 1852.
