Saint-Amand Abbey, Protected abbey ruins in Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, France
The remaining structures of Saint-Amand Abbey include an 82-meter tower with a carillon of 48 bells and a former courthouse entrance building.
Saint Amand of Maastricht established the abbey between 633 and 639 under King Dagobert I's patronage in the Vicoigne Forest near the Scarpe River.
The abbey tower displays carved statues of important religious figures, including Lothaire, Saint Denis, Saint Benedict, and Saint Martin.
The tower contains a museum dedicated to the local faience production, documenting the ceramic manufacturing history of Saint-Amand-les-Eaux.
The abbey's manuscript collection revealed the Ludwigslied, an Old German poem celebrating the 881 Frankish victory, and the Sequence of Saint Eulalia.
