Maubuisson Abbey (French: Abbaye de Maubuisson) was a Cistercian nunnery at Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, in the Val-d'Oise department of France, on the north-western subburbs of Paris.

History

The abbey was founded in 1236 by Blanche of Castile. She was maybe buried there in 1252. The abbey thrived financially under royal patronage until the Hundred Years War.

In the fifteenth century the nuns twice supported rival abbesses.

After a century of decline the abbey was suppressed before the French Revolution in 1787 on order of the King Louis XVI.
