JOVILLIER ABBEY
The abbey of Jovilliers, of the order of the premounted, dates from the 12th century. Today, almost no element of the original abbey remains, all the current buildings are reconstructions made of Savonnières-en-Perthois stone. Only the outbuildings, the covered well, splendid vaulted cellars and part of the abbey buildings have survived. The church has kept its facade decorated with two square towers. The cloister still has its vaulted galleries and the 18th century abbey house consists of several spacious rooms. The association Jovilliers échanges et culture has been working for more than twenty years to preserve this heritage and make the abbey known. To date, the aim is to revive this space, to create an active cultural centre within the rural world.
