Ruined tower of abbey of Longchamp, Medieval tower ruins in Bois de Boulogne, France
The remaining stone tower stands as a solitary structure among the trees of Bois de Boulogne, marking the former location of Longchamp Abbey.
Founded in 1255 by Saint Isabelle of France, the Abbey of Longchamp operated until 1790 when the French Revolution led to the expulsion of nuns.
The tower represents the architectural practices of 13th-century religious buildings and the connection between French nobility and monastic establishments.
Visitors can access the tower ruins through the pathways of Bois de Boulogne, located in the western section of the 16th arrondissement.
The tower remains the final visible element of an abbey where French royalty, including King Philippe V, spent their last moments.
