SAINT-SAULVE ABBEY
Abbey with the relics of Saint Austreberthe and a treasure of sacred art, one of the most beautiful in France, in Montreuil.
The abbey church was built in the 12th century. It collapsed due to an earthquake and a fire in 1537. The treasure of sacred art constitutes one of the most beautiful sets of the north of France, with beautiful testimonies of the religious art of the Middle Ages until the XIXth century. After the Revolution, the abbey church received the relics of Saint Austreberthe. The baptismal font of the abbey church was drawn by Victor Hugo on a letter addressed to his wife during his stay in the city. The building was classified as a historical monument in 1910.
