Mortemer Abbey
Nestled deep within the Lyons Forest in Normandy, Mortemer Abbey is a romantic 12th-century Cistercian ruin widely considered one of the most haunted places in France. Founded under royal Anglo-Norman patronage, the sacred complex has suffered centuries of violence, from royal imprisonments to revolutionary massacres of four monks. The tranquil ruins are haunted by multiple spectral entities, including the ghost of Empress Matilda, phantom monks, and the terrifying regional omen of the White Lady.
