Abbaye d'Homblières, Benedictine abbey in Homblières, France.
The abbey complex includes medieval stone walls, underground passages, and a grand entrance portal located in northern France near Saint-Quentin.
Founded around 650 by Saint Eloi, the monastery transformed from a nunnery to a male Benedictine abbey in 949 under King Louis IV's authorization.
The monastery preserved the relics of Saint Hunegund, the first abbess who led the religious community between 672 and 690.
The remaining structures of the abbey include underground tunnels, caves, and an entrance gate incorporated into a 19th-century residential building.
During World War I, German plenipotentiaries stopped at the presbytery in Homblières while traveling to sign the 1918 armistice.
