Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

The abbey was founded in 1212 to the south of Valenciennes on the banks of the Scheldt as a small oratory by two sisters Agnes and Jeanne, daughters of Hélin, seigneur d'Aulnoy. It became a Cistercian abbey in 1218. The convent was under the protection of the Counts of Hainaut and were endowed with considerable riches and land. Many noble ladies joined or chose to retire at Fontenelle.[1]
It grew famous in the 14th century after Joan of Valois, Countess of Hainaut (1294–1352; daughter of Charles of Valois, sister of King Philip VI of France, widow of William I, Count of Hainaut, and mother-in-law of Emperor Louis IV), entered the community in 1337[2] At Fontenelle she maintained her own chancellery and personal staff, received guests from court and was kept up to day in political affairs.[3] Joan of Valois died at Fontenelle and was buried there. Her sister-in-law, Joan, also became a nun at Fontenelle.[4]
After several destructions and reconstructions during the course of the centuries, the nunnery was dissolved in 1793 in the French Revolution and demolished. It was then sold to a building contractor who made it a stone quarry.[2] It lay forgotten until 1977, when during building works on the Scheldt canal, remains came to light. These were archaeologically investigated and in part put on display in the museum in Valenciennes. The site itself was made into a park and is accessible to visitors.
