France: Jumieges Abbey

Jumieges Abbey was a Benedictine monastery. situated in the commune of Jumieges in Normandy, France.

After numerous re-establishments, it was only in the middle of the 19th century that the process of destruction came to a end, and the abbey we see today is broadly as it was at the time - a process helped by Victor Hugo referring to Jumieges as "the most beautiful ruins in France".
