south-west tower of Jumièges Abbey - a photo on Flickriver

            Originally founded in AD 654 but pillaged by the Vikings, Jumièges Abbey's subsequent Norman Romanesque building (of which this tower is part) was consecrated in 1067 in the presence of William the Conqueror.

The abbey was enlarged further in 1256 with the addition of a Gothic east end.  The abbey was ruined during the French Revolution as a result of the suppression of monasteries.  What remains was described as "the most beautiful ruin in the whole of France" by Victor Hugo.
