Abbey Saint-Andoche d'Autun, Romanesque abbey in Autun, France.

The stone walls of Saint-Andoche Abbey incorporate a Roman gate tower and feature architectural elements from the 15th to 19th centuries.

Queen Brunhilda established this Benedictine nunnery in 592 on the foundation of a Roman temple previously dedicated to Diana.

The abbey functioned as a xenodochium, providing shelter to poor travelers and foreign visitors near its integrated Roman gate.

Located at 7 Rue Saint-Germain in Autun, the abbey contains a crypt that received historical monument status in February 1993.

The abbey maintained its own mint during the Carolingian period, producing silver coins that demonstrated its economic influence.
