Prieuré Saint-Arnoul de Crépy-en-Valois, Medieval priory in Crépy-en-Valois, France

Saint-Arnoul Priory maintains its western crypt and seven sections of the north wall of the nave, displaying medieval religious architecture.

Between 935 and 943, Raoul II established this institution to house Saint Arnoul relics, before its attachment to the Cluniac order in 1076.

The priory capitals feature acanthus and volute carvings, including one narrative capital influenced by the art of Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire.

The priory remains can be visited in a municipal garden created in 1964, allowing visitors to examine the foundations of a six-bay structure.

The crypt, measuring 16.50 meters wide by 25 meters long, ranked among the largest underground structures in the Île-de-France region.
