Abbaye de Selincourt, Medieval abbey in Hornoy-le-Bourg, France.

The Abbaye de Selincourt spans across extensive grounds featuring remaining stone walls and architectural elements from different historical periods.

Founded in 1130 by Gautier Tyrel de Poix on lands provided by Milon de Selincourt, the abbey housed Premonstratensian canons from Saint-Josse de Dommartin.

The abbey received the Sacred Tear relic in 1209, which became a focal point for pilgrimages every Pentecost Monday and was believed to cure eye ailments.

The site contains preserved walls at the Sainte-Larme farm, while the 19th-century reliquary is now housed in the parish church of Selincourt.

The original abbey church measured 75 meters in length, making it the second largest religious building in the Diocese of Amiens after the cathedral.
