- Description
- The Abbey of Ourscamp is a former Cistercian monastery founded by St. Bernard in 1129. The abbey is today affiliated with the parish of Saint-Éloi de Noyon. After the great damages inflicted during the First World War, the complex lays in ruins. The former monastic infirmary serves as a chapel for the Servants of Jesus and Mary, the religious community installed on the site since 1941 (www.cister.net/abbayes/fr/70/ourscamp).
