Abbey of Saint-Martin, Pontoise, Medieval Benedictine abbey in Pontoise, France
Located near the banks of the Oise River, the Abbey of Saint-Martin displays Romanesque architecture with sturdy stone walls and detailed religious carvings.
The monastery, established in the first half of the 11th century, gained recognition as a pilgrimage site after the canonization of its first abbot, Walter of Pontoise.
The Maurist monks who took control of the abbey in the 17th century maintained a center of learning, contributing to theological and philosophical studies.
The Saint-Martin estate now houses the Saint-Martin-de-France School, managed by the Oratorians, and offers guided tours in multiple languages throughout the year.
The tomb of Saint Walter of Pontoise remains within the abbey church, making it a destination for religious visitors seeking spiritual connection.
