history

Hasnon Monastery was founded in 670 as a double monastery by Jean and Eulalie, the children of the Count of Ostrevant, according to the Benedictine rule. At that time, Hasnon was a large estate that belonged to the Johanns and Eulalias families and was given to the abbey. In 691 the monastery church was consecrated by Vidicianus, Bishop of Cambrai .

In 867 Irmentrud , the wife of the future emperor Charles the Bald , retired to Hasnon, where she died in 869. Her daughter of the same name was abbess here. In 880 the monastery was destroyed by the Normans and only used again by the Augustinians at the beginning of the 11th century. In 1064 the monastery of Count Baldwin VI. of Flanders († 1070) restored as a Benedictine abbey.

The abbey church burned down in 1125, and a new Romanesque building was consecrated in 1149. This church was 76 meters long and 22 meters wide, the rectangular bell tower 66 meters high. Inside, it consisted of three aisles and a polygonal apse.

Hasnon, which had been near the border between France and the Empire for centuries, was part of the areas that became the bone of contention between the French and the Habsburgs from the mid-15th century . In 1433 Hainaut came to the Duke of Burgundy , and in 1477 to the House of Habsburg. Emperor Charles V ceded the area to his son Philip II in 1555 , Hasnon now belongs to the Spanish Netherlands . Under Louis XIV , the abbey then came to France: in the Peace of the Pyrenees of 1659, Douai to the west became French, Lille in the Treaty of Aachen (1668) , Hasnon became a border town. The Peace of Nijmegen (1678) at the end of the Dutch War (from 1672) then caused Valenciennes and Hasnon to switch sides. For the abbey, this meant that Abbot Mathias Leroulx, who died in 1676, was not replaced by the successor Raphael Becquet appointed by the Spanish king, as the French king rejected him and replaced him with Bernard Taffin, his own candidate.

In 1792 the abbey was dissolved by the revolutionaries . The monastery church as the parish church of Hasnon and some of the monastery buildings still form the geographical center of the town of Hasnon today.
