Abbey of Hautmont, Benedictine abbey in Hautmont, France.
The main building forms a quadrilateral around a courtyard with an arched portal and protected facades including the abbatial palace.
Founded in 643 by Count Madelgaire, the abbey grew into a major center of the Merovingian kingdom, receiving visits from Charlemagne.
The abbey maintained a library and refectory in its lateral wing, demonstrating its role in transmitting monastic knowledge.
The transformation of the former abbatial palace will create 43 apartments, from studios to three-room units, some offering views of the Sambre River.
The establishment owned 40% of Hautmont's lands in the 16th century and managed multiple farms and mills in the region.
