Name is St. Bertinus

nice photo but it's the village of Licques.

Founded in 1889, this abbey was built in the Gothic style. Listed as a Historic Monument, it consists of several buildings, including two castles. Today, it is home to around twenty Benedictine nuns of all ages. The monastery is partially open to the public: the abbey church, parlor, and shop are accessible.

Excellent road between Coulomby and Quesques - quiet, smooth and superb wooded scenery.

The statue of Suger in Saint-Omer is located in front of the ruins of the Abbey of Saint-Bertin. This impressive marble statue was created by the French sculptor Jean-Baptiste Stouf (1742-1826) and was originally placed in the courtyard of the Palace of Versailles in 1836. In 1931, it was decided to distribute these statues throughout France, and so the statue of Suger came to Saint-Omer, where he is said to have been born. The statue is 4.50 meters high and weighs 8 tons. The statue shows Suger with two symbols of royal power: the crown on a cushion and the hand of justice. Suger was an important figure in the Abbey of Saint-Denis and served as regent of the kingdom during the crusade of King Louis VII. He was born in 1082 and died in 1152.

The Ruines de l’Abbaye Saint-Bertin are the remains of a Benedictine monastery in Saint-Omer, France. The monastery was founded in the 7th century by the Bishop of Thérouanne under the name Abbaye de Sithiu. The ruins of this monastery are located in Saint-Omer, Rue des Ruines Saint-Bertin. They were classified as a historical monument in 1840. The buildings are now in ruins, but are open to the public. The abbey was originally dedicated to Saint Peter and later to Saint Bertin. It was one of the three most powerful abbeys in the north of the kingdom. The monastery was surrounded by a wall and bordered the rivers Aa and Haute-Meldick. It consisted of three parts: the regular places, the peripheral districts and the outbuildings. The abbey church was located at the heart of the monastery and all the buildings were organized around it. The monastery also had a cloister, refectory, parlour, celler, chauffoir and kitchens. The ruins of the abbey offer a fascinating insight into the medieval history of France and are a popular tourist attraction.
