The Château de Jully (also known as the Abbaye de Jully-les-Nonnains) is a ruined building, originally a castle but later having other uses, in the commune of Jully in the Yonne département of France. Built originally in the 10th century, it was subsequently used as a convent, a priory and a farm.
The abbey church was also a parish church under the patronage of Saint-Jacques-aux-Nonnains. [5] The Église Saint Jacques was famous for its 15th century portal in Flamboyant Gothic style, from which it was called "Saint Jacques au Beau Portail". At 72 metres (236 ft) in length it was the second largest church in Troyes after the cathedral.
