Maubeuge Abbey, Medieval abbey in Maubeuge, France
The Maubeuge Abbey stands near the Sambre River, featuring architectural elements that reflect the religious traditions of northern France.
Founded in 661 by Saint Aldegonde, the monastery initially operated as a double community, accommodating both men and women religious members.
The canonesses of Maubeuge Abbey wore distinctive gold medals with Saint Aldegonde's enameled image suspended from blue cords with gold tassels.
The abbey's location near the Belgian border makes it accessible to visitors exploring the religious heritage sites of the Hauts-de-France region.
The institution transformed from a Benedictine monastery to a community following the Rule of Saint Augustine, marking a shift in religious practices.
