The Abbey of Sainte-Austreberthe is one of two large monasteries in Montreuil-sur-Mer, originally founded in the 10th century. The protection offered by the ramparts in the context of Viking raids gave the Norman nuns of Pavilly the certainty of preserving the relics of their patron saint: Austreberthe. She is a Merovingian aristocrat from Marconnes near Hesdin.

The current buildings were built in 1736 and 1750. They still include the cloister and the chapel. During the French Revolution, the nuns temporarily left France for England, taking with them the treasure trove of sacred art and the relics it contained. With the dissolution of the community at the beginning of the 19th century, works of art and precious reliquaries, including the crosier of Saint Austreberthe, were deposited in the abbey church of Sainte-Saulve, where they are still located.

The construction of the Église Sainte-Austreberthe took place from 1756 to 1762 under the direction of the architect Jean Le Mercier. The church lost its religious function during the French Revolution. The facade of the church has been partially registered as a historical monument since October 6, 1942 and is owned by the municipality.

The Église Sainte-Austreberthe is one of the remains of the abbey of the same name, founded in the 9th century. After a fire, the chapel was rebuilt in the Renaissance style in the 18th century. Pilasters, molded cornices and volutes are some of the features that make its facade an architectural jewel.
