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.

The Hem is a small river in Northern France. It rises in Surques, flows through Licques, Tournehem-sur-la-Hem, and flows into the Aa at Hennuin. The most important tributaries are the ruisseau de Loquin, the ruisseau de Sanghem, the ruisseau de Licques and the ruisseau de Bainghen.

Tournehem-sur-la-Hem (Dutch: Doornem) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region in northwestern France. The commune is part of the arrondissement of Saint-Omer.

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.
