Abbaye Saint-Denis de Reims, Augustinian abbey in Reims, France.
The abbey buildings now house the Museum of Fine Arts of Reims, featuring an entrance building, grand staircase, and rear facade with architectural elements from different periods.
Founded at an unknown date and restored in 1064 by Archbishop Gervais of Reims, the abbey joined the Regular Canons of Saint Augustine of the Congregation of France in 1633.
The abbey library contained 2,380 printed works and 85 manuscripts in 1790, representing substantial intellectual resources for religious and educational purposes.
The building entrance on the street, grand staircase, and rear facade received historical monument protection through decrees in 1921 and 1971.
The medieval church and cloisters were destroyed during the French Revolution, leaving only Louis XV style elements including an entrance and courtyard.
