Faremoutiers Abbey

Faremoutiers Abbey (French: Abbaye Notre-Dame de Faremoutiers) was an important Merovingian Benedictine monastery of nuns in the present Seine-et-Marne department of France. Closed by the French Revolution, the monastery was reestablished in the 20th century. In its early days, the community was an important link between the Merovingian Frankish Empire and the southern Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Kent and East Anglia.
