At Jumièges abbey. The abbey itself is medieval, with roots all the way back to the 7th century and building details preserved from the 10th century. The abbey gatehouse dates to the 14th century. But not this part. This part is actually from the post-religious phase of the complex, built in the 19th century in Neo-Gothic style to house the owner of the plot of land on which the abbey stood. Today it's an office for the administration of the site.
