Abbaye Saint-Lucien de Beauvais
Abbaye Saint-Lucien de Beauvais, Benedictine abbey in Beauvais, France
The Saint-Lucien Abbey contains a Romanesque portal with decorative elements including diamond tips and saw-tooth patterns specific to northern French religious architecture.
Founded in 585, the abbey functioned until 1791 when it was dismantled during the French Revolution, with its materials, including woodwork and marble, sold separately.
The abbey maintains a collection of manuscripts and documents that reflect the medieval monastic traditions of the Benedictine order in northern France.
Visitors can access the remaining structures of the abbey at 11 Rue Saint-Lucien in Beauvais, though certain areas remain under private ownership.
Archaeological excavations in 1961 revealed multiple historical layers beneath the abbey, documenting continuous religious activity at the site since the 6th century.
