Summary

A study of the Champbenoîst site in Provins, France, reveals that despite its historical significance as a Benedictine monastery dating back to the late 12th century, only two modern or contemporary vernacular buildings remain on the original location. The monastery was relocated within the urban enclosure in 1625, leaving behind a modest domain center for land management. This research highlights the contrast between Provins' medieval heritage and its modern architectural remnants, offering insights into the site's evolution over centuries.
