Abbey of St. Martin, Premonstratensian abbey in Laon, France
The Church of Saint Martin features stone architecture from the twelfth century, with large windows illuminating the interior spaces of the structure.
Founded in 1101 by Bishop Barthélemy of Jur, the abbey became one of the first establishments of the Premonstratensian Order in northern France.
The abbey functioned as an educational center during medieval times, contributing to the intellectual development of the Laon region through manuscript production.
Located at coordinates 49.562778° N and 3.611944° E, the former monastic buildings now operate as a hospital while the church remains open for visits.
The structure maintains its original twelfth-century architectural elements despite its transformation from a religious institution to a medical facility in 1810.
