About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Benedictine abbey founded about 644, by St. Fursy, a noble Irishman, on land belonging to Archambaud, mayor of the palace under Clovis II. Burned by the Normans in the 9th century, it was restored by the Counts of Meaux from 990 to 1018. At its consecration in 1019, King Robert the Pious donated a nail from the True Cross; it was lost in 1567 during the looting of the abbey during the Wars of Religion.

Dissolved in the French Revolution, it was sold as national property in 1796, the monastery became a military hospital and then, from 1842 the City Council. The abbey church was restored from 1860 to 1870, but then used to house German soldiers and French prisioners who used the wood of the church for fires to keep warm. Classified as an historical monument in 1886, it was extensively damaged by German bombs in World War II, but has been restored. Legend has it that one of the swords of Joan of Arc is hidden somewhere in the abbey.
