Abbaye de Vicogne, Medieval abbey in Raismes, France
The Abbaye de Vicogne stands in northern France with its stone walls and remaining architectural elements from the thirteenth century structure.
Founded in 1125 by hermit Guy de Vicogne, the abbey received privileges from Pope Innocent II in 1138 and expanded its influence across the region.
The Premonstratensian monastery maintained an active goldsmith workshop within its walls, contributing to the regional craftsmanship traditions.
The abbey sits between Arras and Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, accessible through the forest paths that connect these northern French communities.
During the French Revolution in 1793, General Desponches transformed the religious complex into military fortifications against Austrian forces.
