Ruins of Jumieges Abbey, Jumieges, Normandy, France
Jumieges Abbey was a Benedictine monastery, situated in the commune of Jumieges in the Seine-Maritime department, in Normandy, France. In 654 the abbey was founded on a gift of forested land belonging to the royal fisc presented by Clovis II and his queen, Balthild, to the Frankish nobleman Filibertus, who had been the companion of Saints Ouen and Wandrille at the Merovingiancourt of Dagobert I. In the ninth century it was pillaged and burnt to the ground by the Vikings, but was rebuilt on a grander scale by William Longespee, Duke of Normandy (d. 942). A new church was consecrated in 1067 in the presence of William the Conqueror. The French Revolution, however, ended its existence as a monastery, leaving only impressive ruins. These comprise the church, with its beautiful twin towers and western faade, and portions of the cloisters and library, the contents of which were removed to Rouen when the abbey was dissolved. In the middle of the former cloister, there is still the 500-year-old yew tree

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of the Ruins of Jumieges Abbey in Normandy, France. Once a thriving Benedictine monastery, this abbey has a rich history that dates back to its founding in 654 by Clovis II and Queen Balthild. The abbey suffered devastating destruction at the hands of Vikings in the ninth century but was rebuilt on an even grander scale by William Longespee, Duke of Normandy. The photograph showcases the impressive remnants of this ancient structure, including the church with its magnificent twin towers and western facade. These ruins stand as a testament to the architectural prowess and spiritual significance that once defined Jumieges Abbey. While time may have taken its toll on this sacred place, there is still an air of tranquility that surrounds it. In fact, nestled within what remains of the cloister is a remarkable 500-year-old yew tree, adding an element of natural wonder to these historic grounds. Although no longer functioning as a monastery due to its dissolution during the French Revolution, Jumieges Abbey continues to captivate visitors from around the world with its awe-inspiring presence. This stunning print by Danita Delimont allows us to appreciate both the majesty and fragility of human creations throughout history.
