The construction of this abbey began in 1055. Notre-Dame de la Chaume abbey is the main Benedictine settlement in Machecoul. The monastery ceased to exist in 1767. The two oculi (the only remains of the abbey) of the wall lit the chapter house and opened directly onto the abbot's garden. The dovecote located in the center of the Chaume estate is the symbol of the abbey. More information on the history: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_Notre-Dame_de_la_Chaume

The history of Notre-Dame de la Chaume Abbey dates back to the year 1000. It was in 1802 that the former owner authorized the demolition of the abbey in order to recover the stone to build another church. One can only imagine the grandeur of the abbey in front of this magnificent dovecote.
