Anciennes Abbaye de Jumièges - Les ruines, vue prise de l'Abbatiale - Seine-Maritime - 76 - Normandie.
Fondée en 654 l’Abbaye de Jumièges est un des plus importants monastères Bénédictins au Nord de la Seine. Les vestiges de l’Abbatiale Notre Dame racontent la grandeur de l’architecture romane en Normandie. Ceux de Saint Pierre témoignent de l’architecture religieuse carolingienne avant l’incendie par les Viking en 841. Vendu à la révolution pour servir de carrière de pierre, ce lieu est devenu depuis le XIXe siècle « la plus belle ruine de France » qui inspira nombre de ses illustres Visiteurs (V Hugo, G Sand... ).
Founded in 654 the Abbey of Jumièges was one of the most important Benedictine monasteries north of the Seine. The remains of the Notre Dame Abbey church tell of the grandeur of Romanesque architecture in Normandy, whilst those of Saint Pierre are examples of Carolingian religious architecture before it was burnt down by the Vikings in 841. Sold after the Revolution to be used as a stone quarry, it became “France’s most beautiful ruin” in the 19th century, inspiring many of its illustrious visitors such as Victor Hugo or George Sand.
