Abbaye Saint-Crépin-en-Chaye, Medieval abbey ruins in Soissons, France.

The stone buildings of Saint-Crépin-en-Chaye Abbey stood near the river Aisne, featuring architectural elements from the 12th century religious construction period.

Founded in 1131 on the martyrdom site of Saints Crépin and Crépinien, the abbey received regular canons from Arrouaise Abbey to establish its first religious community.

The abbey maintained manuscripts and religious documents now preserved in the National Library of France, representing medieval monastic intellectual activities.

The geographical coordinates of the former abbey site are latitude 49.39071 and longitude 3.32076, accessible from central Soissons.

During the plague outbreaks of 1662 and 1668, the abbey buildings served as an isolation hospital for the local population.
