Maubuisson Abbey
Maubuisson Abbey from the south
Maubuisson Abbey (French: Abbaye de Maubuisson) was a Cistercian nunnery at Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, in the Val-d'Oise department of France. The site is now within the north-western suburbs of Paris. The surviving buildings are listed as a monument historique.
History
The abbey was founded in 1236 by Blanche of Castile, the queen consort of Louis VIII. She was maybe buried there in 1252.[1] The abbey thrived financially under royal patronage until the Hundred Years War.
In the fifteenth century the nuns twice supported rival abbesses.
After a century of decline the abbey was suppressed before the French Revolution in 1787 on order of the King Louis XVI.
