About Château de Cercamp
At Frévent in the Pas-de-Calais, the former Cistercian abbey of Cercamp, founded in the 12th century, is a fine monastic ensemble whose great buildings were elegantly rebuilt in the 18th century. Once a powerful abbey and the burial place of counts, it was dissolved at the Revolution, and its handsome classical abbey buildings, with their long façades and noble proportions, now survive as a heritage site open to visitors. Lovingly cared for, the abbey preserves fine woodwork, a chapel and peaceful grounds that evoke centuries of monastic life. Historic, elegant and atmospheric, the former abbey of Cercamp offers a rewarding glimpse of monastic heritage and 18th-century architecture, a charming and peaceful stop in the countryside of the Pas-de-Calais, a place where centuries of prayer and history linger in the quiet of the Ternoise valley.
