Honcourt Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Saint-Martin, France
The circular abbey church, completed in 1286, featured a rectangular choir and represented a significant example of Romanesque architecture in Alsace.
Founded in 1001 by Count Werner of Ortenbourg, the abbey experienced destruction by Burgundian troops in 1473 and during the Peasants' Revolt of 1525.
The monastery maintained extensive archives and a library until 1525, when peasants burned the buildings and dispersed the collection of documents.
Located at coordinates 48.349444 latitude and 7.282778 longitude, the abbey site contains only foundation remains following its 1782 demolition.
Emperor Maximilian I ordered the opening of Hugo of Reichenberg's tomb in 1516 to verify legends about the count's extraordinary physical size.
