The sacristy

At the northern end of the monks' building lies the former sacristy which was converted into a chapel by the wife of the Marquis of Travanet. The keystone of the choir of the church, a tombstone from the 13th century and statuary collected by Henry and Isabel Goüin and given to the Royaumont Foundation are exhibited. An interesting feature is the ruptured barrel vault.
