Notre-Dame de Quincy Abbey

History

Founded in 1133 by Cistercian monks from the Abbey of Pontigny, Notre-Dame de Quincy Abbey is one of the rare monastic vestiges of the Tonnerrois. The abbey church, destroyed before 1855, has vanished, but two medieval buildings survive in the hamlet of Commissey: an abbot's lodge from the late 15th century whose interior turret bears a ribbed vault decorated with heraldic arms, and a building preserving fine 13th-century Gothic vaulting. Private property, the abbey has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1926.
