At the opposite of the cathedral, Square Saint-Pierre preserves one of the largest female monasteries in northern Gaul: Notre-Dame-de-Soissons Abbey. The abbey was founded between 659 and 666 and included three churches: Saint-Pierre, Sainte-Geneviève - disappeared - and Notre-Dame have two windows in a very beautiful Romanesque style. This monastic ensemble occupied the current location of the post, the courthouse and extended to the Aisne. This royal Benedictine abbey, founded at the time, acquires a great reputation thanks to its rich collection of relics, including the «virgin shoe», but also thanks to its prestigious abbesses: Charlemagne placed his sister as abbess as well as his daughter Rotrude as a blacksmith, we also talked about the passage of Catherine de Bourbon, the aunt of Henri IV. Methodically razed to the Revolution, there is no main church only two bays of the north arm of the transept in a very beautiful Romanesque style, as well as the facade followed by the last two spans of the nave of Saint-Pierre church.

Une jolie abbaye se trouve dans ce petit square en plein coeur de l'artère commercante de Soissons.On appréciera le style architecturale de l'édifice, se trouvant directement derrière la cathédrale, à côté de la place du marché.
