Saint-Germer-de-Fly Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Saint-Germer-de-Fly, France
The abbey church features a combination of Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements with a grand nave illuminated by large windows.
Founded in 801, the abbey underwent multiple reconstructions after Norman invasions in the 9th and 10th centuries before becoming a Cistercian monastery.
The abbey includes a 13th-century Gothic chapel that reproduces the architectural design of the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris on a smaller scale.
The church now serves as the parish church of Saint-Germer-de-Fly and remains open to visitors throughout the year.
The abbey's construction using calcareous clay from Pays de Bray demonstrates the medieval builders' skill in utilizing local materials.
