Current site: demolished; no medieval fabric on surface - Bellozanne was suppressed during the Revolution. By 1797 the church and cloister had been sold and a buyer had begun demolishing the buildings. In 1827 a new château erased what remained of the medieval ruins on the site. Modern archaeology locates the abbey between two former ponds on the plateau.

Premonstratensian abbey founded by Hugues V de Gournay in 1198 at Brémontier (now Brémontier-Merval, Seine-Maritime), dedicated to Notre-Dame, sited between two former ponds on the Pays de Bray plateau. The signal religious foundation of the senior Gournay baron line in its last generation, and the most consequential Gournay-side ecclesiastical site after the Gournay collegiate church itself.
