Saint-Wandrille-Rançon (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ vɑ̃dʁij ʁɑ̃sɔ̃]) is a former commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region in north west France.
[2] A village of farming and forestry situated by the banks of the Seine, some 18 miles (29 km) north-west of Rouen at the junction of the D22, D33 and the D982 roads.
The abbey church belongs to the 13th and 14th centuries; portions of the nave walls supported by flying buttresses are standing, and the windows and vaulting of the side aisles are in fair preservation.
The church is joined to cloisters from which an interesting door of the Renaissance period opens into the refectory.
The abbey was founded in the 7th century by Saint Wandrille, aided by donations from Clovis II.
