Abbey of Mont-Saint-Éloi

Highlight • Historical Site

The two towers of Mont-Saint-Éloi dominate the Arras region. They can be seen from afar. They shape the landscape of the Artois plains. They are a landmark for those walking in the surrounding area. Located on a hill seven kilometers northwest of Arras, the two towers of Mont-Saint-Éloi are the monumental remains of an abbey with a thousand-year history.
Listed as a historical monument since 1921 and owned by the Pas-de-Calais Department since 2008, the two towers are the subject of a scientific and cultural project to raise awareness and promote their heritage. Between 2010 and 2015, the Department carried out restoration work, and its archaeology department conducted six excavations.

Mont-Saint-Éloi Abbey Ruins and View over the Scarpe Valley

Highlight • Historical Site

De H elooi founded an abbey on this hill (135m) that dominates the Scarpe Valley in the 7th century. The army of Louis XI camped there in the 15th century during the siege of Arras, as the Prince of Condé did opposite Turenne two centuries later. The battered abbey was rebuilt in the 18th century by Augustinians. But the revolution sold the walls as a national asset and during the world wars (especially in 1915 and 1940) the building was almost completely destroyed. Only the two impressive towers (53m) are still standing.
