Abbaye de Fontenelle, or S. Wandrille

“The original jubé was destroyed by the fall of the great central tower, on the night of the 21st of December, 1631. A new screen was commenced in 1670, and completed in 1672, by Emmanuel Boynet, architect. It was supported by four marble pillars, with two altars on each side the choir door.”—Essai sur l’Abbaye de Fontenelle, par E. Hyacinthe Langlois: Paris, 1827.
