Abbatiale de Saint-Riquier, Gothic abbey church in Saint-Riquier, France.
The abbey church displays a triple-portal western facade with stone sculptures depicting biblical scenes and an intricate network of Gothic vaults and arches.
Construction of the church began in 1257 under Abbot Gilles de Machemont, following destruction by fire, and continued through several phases until the 17th century.
The abbey houses a treasury room containing medieval wall paintings, including a representation of 'The Three Living and The Three Dead' mortality tale.
The building measures 96 meters in length, features a 48-meter-high bell tower, and contains two historic bells from 1716 and 1734.
Archaeological excavations in 1989 revealed human remains initially thought to belong to Charlemagne's grandson Nithard, though later analysis proved otherwise.
