Abbaye Saint-Jean des Prémontrés, Medieval abbey in central Amiens, France
The Saint-Jean-des-Prémontrés Abbey features a courtyard surrounded by U-shaped buildings with a vaulted gallery constructed during the 17th century.
The abbey, established in 1124, received donations from Count John of Ponthieu and King Philip Augustus before becoming the wealthiest abbey in Amiens.
During the 18th century, the abbey maintained a substantial library of up to 15,000 volumes, reflecting its status as an intellectual center.
Located on Rue des Prémontrés in Amiens, the abbey buildings now function as a cultural center hosting conferences and exhibitions.
The monastery reconstruction plans were designed by Étienne de Fay, a deaf-mute professor who taught at the abbey in the early 18th century.
