🏛️ Holmcultram Abbey, located in Abbeytown, is a former Cistercian abbey founded in 1150 by monks from Melrose Abbey in Scotland. The abbey grew to be one of the wealthiest and most influential religious institutions in Northwest England, thanks in part to its expertise in land reclamation, wool production, and salt mining.

In the 13th and 14th centuries, it was repeatedly plundered by Scottish raids, including a major attack by Robert the Bruce in 1319. It was dissolved in 1538 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, but the church remained as a parish church.

Built of red sandstone, possibly from Scotland or St Bees, it retains medieval features such as carved arches and an impressive west entrance.

Founded in 1150 by monks from Melrose Abbey, Holmcultram Abbey was a Cistercian monastery until 1538. Although the building suffered severe fire damage in 2006, it still serves as a church for worshippers from the local community.
