REMAINS OF THE ABBEY OF SAINTE-MARIE DE MUREAU
Description
Built in the first half of the 12th century, on the borders of the Duchy of Lorraine and the County of Champagne, the Abbey of Sainte-Marie de Mureau belonged to the Prémontrés order, also known as Premonstratensians, and was an important place for trade.
