Abbaye Saint-Jean-du-Mont de Thérouanne, Benedictine abbey in Thérouanne, France
The remains of this abbey spread across rolling terrain, featuring limestone foundation walls and sections of original stonework.
King Thierry III of Neustrian Franks established the abbey in 686, which operated until its destruction during Charles V's siege in 1533.
Monks at this abbey maintained manuscript copying traditions and developed agricultural techniques that influenced the entire region.
The abbey ruins are open for visits throughout the year, with information panels providing detailed historical context about the site.
This religious establishment held a fragment of Saint Augustine's head, making it an important medieval pilgrimage destination.
