Abbaye Saint-Marien d'Auxerre, Medieval abbey in Auxerre, France
The Saint-Marien Abbey stands on elevated ground at the outskirts of Auxerre, featuring a combination of Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements.
Founded in the fifth century as a Benedictine monastery dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian, the abbey was rebuilt in the eleventh century following Norman invasions.
The abbey maintained an extensive library of manuscripts and printed books, serving as a center of religious education and text preservation in medieval Burgundy.
The remains of the abbey can be reached by following the walking path from Auxerre cathedral, with guided tours available during summer months.
Three distinct seal impressions from different periods were discovered in the abbey archives, documenting its administrative practices across centuries.
