The ruins of the Royaumont Church
In 1229, the king Saint Louis began to build the Royaumont abbey in order to fulfil his father’s wish. He participated very actively to the work (the church was consecrated in 1235) and also to the day to day life of the monks. During these years more than 140 monks were living there. After Saint Louis and the 100 year war, the abbey declines. In 1791 it become a spinning mill with more than 300 employees. At the time the church was destroy in order to build houses for the employees. During the 14 – 18 war it was a hospital with Scottish nurses. It is now a community art centre.

Hello Jean-Pierre,

Nice composition with the flowers in the foreground and breaking the 1/3 horizontally rule works like a charm here.

Did you know there's another pretty nice church ruin (about 100yrs older) not far from there, called 'Abbaye de Chaalis', about 20km north east?

Bonjour Jean-Pierre,
Etonnant ce vestige qui semble s'élancer vers le ciel. Cette flèche laisse imaginer la splendeur passée de l'abbaye. Bien vu l'inclusion des fleurs roses au premier plan, ça donne une touche de couleur et apporte de la profondeur de champ. Bonne netteté également.
Amicalement,
Olivier
