Saint-Maur

The Maurist houses of the province of France

Thirty-three abbeys, seven priories and the Maurist community of Chelles, from Paris to Flanders and Champagne.

The province of France gathered the Maurist houses of the Île-de-France, Brie, Picardy, the Boulonnais and Champagne, with the priory of Fives in Flanders. The superior general of the congregation resided at Saint-Germain-des-Prés, where dom Luc d’Achery, dom Jean Mabillon and dom Bernard de Montfaucon worked. Each entry gives the place, the diocese under the Ancien Régime, the date the house joined the congregation and a short notice, with, where it exists, the engraved view from the Monasticon Gallicanum.

The sources do not always agree on the date of union to the congregation: the range is then given (1642-1646). “c.” marks a date that rests on a secondary source only.

The lists of priors follow dom Charvin, who drew them up from the acts of the general chapters and diets of the congregation.

Prieuré Notre-Dame d’Argenteuil (l’Humilité de Notre-Dame)

Argenteuil (Val-d’Oise) · diocese of Paris · Congregation of Saint-Maur: date not established

A women’s monastery dependent on Saint-Denis, Argenteuil received monks in 1129 and became a priory of Saint-Denis, under the dedication of the Humility of Our Lady; a tunic of Christ was venerated there. The priory belonged to the province of France of the Congregation of Saint-Maur and had six monks in 1768. Sold as national property in 1792, it was demolished in the 19th century; its archaeological remains are protected.

Abbaye Saint-Lucien de Beauvais

Beauvais (Oise) · diocese of Beauvais · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1665

The monks of the old community of Saint-Lucien came to an agreement in April 1665 with Dom Bernard Audebert, superior general, and the Maurists entered the abbey the following October; the old community kept its own prior. On 20 December 1790, the community made its declaration before the municipality. Sold on 19 January 1791, the abbey was demolished from the spring of 1791 onwards. A gate, a tower and some remains survive, listed as historic monuments.

Communauté mauriste de Chelles

Chelles (Seine-et-Marne) · diocese of Paris · Congregation of Saint-Maur: date not established

The royal abbey of Chelles was a monastery of nuns. In 1513 the abbess Jeanne de La Rivière entrusted the religious service of her nuns to Benedictine monks; this small community later passed to the Congregation of Saint-Maur, which never admitted any abbey of women. Six Maurist monks still provided this chaplaincy service in 1768. A few remains of the abbey survive.

Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Chézy

Chézy-sur-Marne (Aisne) · diocese of Soissons · Congregation of Saint-Maur: c. 1662

The abbey of Saint-Pierre de Chézy, in the diocese of Soissons, received the reform of Saint-Maur at the request of the abbot François de Nesmond and his father, in 1662 according to Poquet. At the end of 1766, the conventual mensa was united to Saint-Crépin-le-Grand de Soissons; five monks lived there at that time. In 1792, a decree ordered the demolition of the church and the buildings, which were torn out down to their foundations.

Abbaye Saint-Corneille de Compiègne

Compiègne (Oise) · diocese of Soissons · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1626

The abbey of Saint-Corneille de Compiègne, in the diocese of Soissons, was given to the Congregation of Saint-Maur in 1626 according to Besse. Its abbatial mensa was later assigned to the Val-de-Grâce, so that it no longer had a commendatory abbot. Seventeen monks lived there in 1768. The cloister and some remains survive; they now house the municipal library.

Prieuré Saint-Marcoul de Corbeny

Corbeny (Aisne) · diocese of Laon · Congregation of Saint-Maur: date not established

The priory of Saint-Marcoul at Corbeny, a dependency of the abbey of Saint-Remi in Reims, kept the relics of Saint Marcoul, which the kings came to venerate after their coronation. It followed Saint-Remi into the Congregation of Saint-Maur and by 1768 counted only three monks. It was closed in 1790 and its property sold; its last remains disappeared during the First World War.

Abbaye Notre-Dame de Nogent-sous-Coucy

Coucy-le-Château-Auffrique (Aisne) · diocese of Laon · Congregation of Saint-Maur: date not established

The abbey of Notre-Dame de Nogent, in the diocese of Laon, had Guibert de Nogent as its abbot in the 12th century. Plundered by Spanish troops in 1650, then partly pulled down on the order of its abbot, it belonged to the Congregation of Saint-Maur in 1664, when the superior of the congregation gave it relics to replace those the Calvinists had burned. Nine monks lived there in 1768.

Prieuré Saint-Martin de Fives

Lille (Nord) · diocese of Tournai · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1670-1672

In 1104 Hermann, a canon of Lille, gave the parishes of Fives and Faches to the abbey of Saint-Nicaise in Reims, which founded at Fives a small priory dedicated to Saint Martin. The priory followed Saint-Nicaise into the Congregation of Saint-Maur between 1670 and 1672; it had only two monks left in 1768. Nothing of it remains; the church of Notre-Dame de Fives, built from 1852, stands near its site.

Abbaye Saint-Faron de Meaux

Meaux (Seine-et-Marne) · diocese of Meaux · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1615

An abbey founded by Saint Faron, bishop of Meaux, according to Beaunier-Besse. Plundered by the Calvinists in 1562, it received in 1615 a reform desired by Bishop Jean de Vieupont, which the monks of Saint-Maur brought to completion; it was thus among the first houses of the congregation. The church and the monastery were entirely destroyed; at the beginning of the 20th century, the civil hospice occupied the former enclosure.

Meulan-en-Yvelines (Yvelines) · diocese of Chartres · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1648

A conventual priory dependent on the abbey of Le Bec, on the Île du Fort at Meulan, in the diocese of Chartres. Its prior Nicolas d’Avanne ceded it to the Congregation of Saint-Maur, which took possession of it in October 1648 with eight choir monks; the church was restored and the priory rebuilt. During the Revolution, the church became a workshop for gun carriages, then was sold and demolished. In 1868, only a small part of the monastic buildings remained.

Abbaye Saint-Saulve de Montreuil

Montreuil-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais) · diocese of Boulogne · Congregation of Saint-Maur: c. 1706

The abbey of Saint-Saulve, at Montreuil, in the diocese of Boulogne. In the 1640s, the Maurists declined several offers, for lack of sufficient revenues for a community. According to the Gallia christiana, the commendatory abbot François Benoise called the reformed monks of Saint-Maur there in 1706. The former abbey church, the church of Saint-Saulve, belongs to the municipality; it has been listed as a historic monument since 1910.

Abbaye Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Paris (Paris) · diocese of Paris · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1631

The abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, exempt from the jurisdiction of the bishop of Paris, entered the Congregation of Saint-Maur in 1631, after long opposition from the superiors of Chezal-Benoît; the superior general took up residence there. The church became a parish church in 1791 and was closed in 1792; the monastic buildings were sold at auction the same year, and a saltpetre refinery occupied the nave from 1794 to 1802. The church is today a parish church.

Abbaye Saint-Martin de Pontoise

Pontoise (Val-d’Oise) · diocese of Rouen · Congregation of Saint-Maur: date not established

The abbey of Saint-Martin, at the gates of Pontoise, in the diocese of Rouen; Saint Gautier was its first abbot. Under the commendatory abbot Walter Montagu, its monks were joined to the Congregation of Saint-Maur. The Cardinal de Bouillon, commendatory abbot, later took the greater part of the enclosure to build a château there, and the community declined. A former cellar of the abbey, in the town, is listed as a historic monument.

Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Rebais

Rebais (Seine-et-Marne) · diocese of Meaux · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1661

The abbey of Saint-Pierre, founded by Saint Ouen (Dado) according to Beaunier-Besse, in the diocese of Meaux. After long disputes with the commendatory abbot de Lenoncourt, the Benedictines of Saint-Maur were introduced there in 1661. They were unable to defend the exemption of the monastery against Bossuet. In 1776, the king entrusted them with a military school. At the beginning of the 20th century, almost nothing remained of the abbey.

Abbaye Saint-Nicaise de Reims

Reims (Marne) · diocese of Reims · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1634

The Benedictine abbey of Saint-Nicaise in Reims. In 1634, Dom Colomban Régnier, visitor of the province, brought eight reformed monks there, and the Congregation of Saint-Maur established itself in the house; the grand prior Dom Guillaume Marlot, historian of Reims, welcomed the reform. The church and the buildings, sold as national property on 24 December 1798, were then demolished despite the protests of the people of Reims.

Abbaye Saint-Remi de Reims

Reims (Marne) · diocese of Reims · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1627

A Benedictine abbey, guardian of the tomb of Saint Remi, bishop of Reims. The Congregation of Saint-Maur introduced its reform there in 1627, and Saint-Remi then provided monks for the other houses of the city. After the expulsion of the monks, the abbey church became a parish church; in 1827, the Hôtel-Dieu moved into the conventual buildings, which today house the Musée Saint-Remi. The church and the former abbey are listed as historic monuments.

Prieuré Notre-Dame de Rethel

Rethel (Ardennes) · diocese of Reims · Congregation of Saint-Maur: date not established

The priory of Notre-Dame at Rethel depended on the abbey of Saint-Remi in Reims; monks and parishioners shared the same church, and in 1317 the inhabitants obtained a nave equal to that of the monks. Dom Besse placed the priory among the houses of the Maurist province of France, but it no longer appears on the list of 1768. The church of Saint-Nicolas, with its two adjoining naves, is today a parish church.

Abbaye de Saint-Denis

Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) · diocese of Paris · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1633

On 2 August 1633, Cardinal de La Rochefoucauld put the monks of the Congregation of Saint-Maur in possession of the church and the monastic buildings of Saint-Denis; Dom Grégoire Tarrisse intoned the Veni Creator in the choir. In 1691, the abbatial mensa was united to the royal house of Saint-Louis at Saint-Cyr, and the community was governed by a grand prior. The former abbey church, closed in 1793, is today a cathedral.

Prieuré de Saint-Fiacre-en-Brie

Saint-Fiacre (Seine-et-Marne) · diocese of Meaux · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1620

The priory stood at the place where Saint Fiacre had led the life of a hermit, and depended on the abbey of Saint-Faron de Meaux. In 1620, at the request of the bishop of Meaux, reformed monks of Saint-Faron came to re-establish the Office there; they first lodged in a ground-floor hall, the only remnant of the buildings, and lived on the offerings of pilgrims. The prior’s mensa was united to the conventual mensa in 1655.

Abbaye Saint-Fuscien-aux-Bois

Saint-Fuscien (Somme) · diocese of Amiens · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1648

In October 1648, under a concordat concluded with the abbot Charles d’Ailly, the Congregation of Saint-Maur sent two monks to Saint-Fuscien to assist the two monks of the old community who remained there. The abbot’s lodging was rebuilt around that time. The abbey was suppressed at the Revolution; the lodging, known as the Château de Saint-Fuscien, is its only surviving building. It is listed as a historic monument and is privately owned.

Abbaye Saint-Riquier

Saint-Riquier (Somme) · diocese of Amiens · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1659

The commendatory abbot Charles d’Aligre introduced the reform of Saint-Maur at Saint-Riquier in 1659 and gave up four years of the revenues of his mensa to restore the church and the house. Having become national property, the abbey was sold on 12 November 1791 on condition that the church be preserved; the cloister was nevertheless demolished. The abbey church and part of the buildings are today listed as historic monuments.

Founded, according to tradition, by Saint Thierry, a disciple of Saint Remigius, on the Mont d’Hor north-west of Reims, the abbey became Benedictine in the 10th century. The Maurists settled there in 1627. The abbatial mensa was united to the archbishopric of Reims in 1696; the community left before the Revolution and the abbey was razed. The chapter house remains; Benedictine nuns resumed monastic life on the site in 1968.

Abbaye Saint-Valery de Saint-Valery-sur-Somme

Saint-Valery-sur-Somme (Somme) · diocese of Amiens · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1644

The monks of Saint-Valery joined the Congregation of Saint-Maur in 1644, under the commendatory abbot Jean Bentivoglio, and the general chapter of 1645 appointed the first prior. The cloister was rebuilt in the 17th century and an abbot’s house built in 1752. Closed at the Revolution, the abbey was ruined. Remains of the 13th-century church, parts of the cloister, the abbot’s lodgings and the enclosure wall are listed as historic monuments.

Abbaye Saint-Wulmer de Samer

Samer (Pas-de-Calais) · diocese of Boulogne · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1648-1661

The commendatory abbot Charles Le Prévost came to terms with the Congregation of Saint-Maur on 18 October 1648, but the taking possession took place only on 15 July 1661. Only two monks then remained, with neither church nor monastic buildings. Dom Denys Plouvier, the first prior, undertook to rebuild; the church was blessed in 1674. A tower restored by the Maurists, the western wing of the cloister and the ruins of the southern wing survive.

Abbaye Saint-Crépin-le-Grand de Soissons

Soissons (Aisne) · diocese of Soissons · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1646

The abbot François Perrochel wished to unite his abbey to the Congregation of Saint-Maur; the agreement was concluded with the monks on 13 September 1646, and the bishop of Soissons himself installed the reformed monks on 1 October 1647. The church was first vaulted and paved, then the monastic buildings were rebuilt. The Revolution found five monks there; the house became a manufactory, then, after 1865, an educational establishment, today a vocational high school.

Abbaye Saint-Médard de Soissons

Soissons (Aisne) · diocese of Soissons · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1636-1637

The monks of the old community, seeing their house in ruins, resolved in 1634 to call in the Congregation of Saint-Maur; the concordat was concluded on 24 February 1636. On 11 March 1637, Dom Gabriel Théroude, visitor of the province of France, entered with twelve choir monks and a lay brother, and took possession of the monastic buildings. The abbey was closed at the Revolution; its crypt and a chapel survive, listed as historic monuments.

Abbaye Saint-Basle de Verzy

Verzy (Marne) · diocese of Reims · Congregation of Saint-Maur: 1644

The monastery stood on the hill overlooking Verzy, near the place where Saint Basle had lived as a hermit. On 13 March 1644, the monks of the Congregation of Saint-Maur were introduced there by the lieutenant general of the bailiwick of Vermandois, seat of Reims. In 1768, the community numbered only four monks. At the beginning of the 20th century, almost nothing remained of the buildings.
