Abbey of Saint Bertin, Benedictine monastery ruins in Saint-Omer, France.
The remaining walls and foundations of the Abbey of Saint Bertin display the grandeur of Gothic architecture through pointed arches and ribbed vaults.
The monastery, established in the 7th century by Bishop Audomar, became a center of spiritual and intellectual life in Northern Europe until the French Revolution.
The abbey maintained an extensive library containing manuscripts like the Annals of Saint Bertin, which documented crucial events of 9th-century French history.
The ruins of the abbey remain open to visitors near the center of Saint-Omer, with guided tours available through the local tourism office.
The marble statue of Suger, originally created for the Palace of Versailles, stands outside the monastery grounds as a testament to its royal connections.
