The Abbey of St. Peter in Oudenburg was an abbey established in 1070 by Arnold of Soissons. Arnold founded the abbey at Oudenburg in West Flanders, Belgium. Arnold founded the abbey after he was removed from his position as Bishop of Soissons〔The Diocese at Soissons had four Bishops in three years at this time.〕 and at the abbey Arnold began to brew beer to remove pathogens from the water and encouraged the locals to drink it. In 1173 this abbey started to reclaim salt marshes (flooded land). This resulted in the creation of the Bamburg polder.〔( Kleine Bamburghoeve )〕 In medieval times the pigeons in the town square belonged to the Abbey farm. The abbey was demolished at the time of the French Revolution. On the 16 February 1797 the abbey and all properties were sold and the buildings were largely demolished. The last monk was Veremundus Norbertus Da (1770-1852) and the property became a farm.〔Anselm HOSTE, the history of St. Peter's Abbey in oudenburg, oudenburg, 1984.〕 ==Site today== One tower from the abbey was not destroyed during the revolution and during the second world war the Germans made this tower a lookout. In 1934 Steenbrugge Abbey got the naming rights from St. Peter's Abbey, and in 1989 the farm became a hotel. The town Roman Archeological Museum lies nearby the former abbey and displays some relics of the abbey in its collection. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abbey of St. Peter in Oudenburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
