    The Ruins of Clairmarais Abbey are a fascinating historical relic in Clairmarais, Hauts-de-France. This abbey was originally founded in 1140 by monks of the Cistercian order, led by Gonfroi, a follower of Bernard of Clairvaux. The abbey was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and was known as a spiritual and agricultural center in the region.
    Unfortunately, the abbey was dissolved in 1791 during the French Revolution, and only the ruins remain.
