Abbaye Saint-Martin d'Epernay, Medieval abbey ruins in Épernay, France.

The stone remains of Saint-Martin Abbey stand near the center of Épernay, featuring Gothic architectural elements and religious carvings from the 16th century.

Founded in 1032, the abbey underwent transformations until 1790 when the French Revolution led to its closure and subsequent partial destruction.

The abbey served as a center of religious education where Augustinian monks maintained manuscripts and taught local residents about agriculture and viticulture.

The site opens to visitors through guided tours, allowing exploration of the remaining structures and architectural features from different periods.

During the 1544 siege, French King Francis I ordered the partial burning of the abbey to slow down Emperor Charles V's advance.
