Notre-Dame de Séry monastery
The Notre-Dame de Séry Abbey is a former Premonstratensian in the town of Bouttencourt in the Valley of Bresle in the Somme department ( Hauts-de-France , France ), on the border of Normandy .
history
In 1127, Anselme de Cayeux founded a priory , which was settled in 1136 by Premonstratensian monks from the Abbey of Saint-Josse de Dommartin in the municipality of Tourtefontaine in the Authie Valley (in what is now the Pas-de-Calais department ) and elevated to an abbey in 1150. The final settlement took place in 1185 at the place called Les Pratos. In 1415 the abbey was burned down by English troops and the abbot was taken prisoner to England. In 1515 the Huguenots looted the monastery. In the 17th century, the reconstruction took place under the commanding abbots Alphonse de Halewyn and Gaston Chamillart. During the French Revolution , the abbey came to an end and the buildings were sold as a national property. A spinning mill moved in later. The buildings now house a leisure and seminar center for the city of Amiens .
Buildings and plant
The abbot's building has been preserved. Traces of the church from the 13th century are made visible. Some of the equipment found its way into the churches of the surrounding communities.
