Abbey of St Martin, Autun

The Abbey of St. Martin is a former Benedictine monastery in Autun, Saône-et-Loire, France, to the northeast of the city just outside the city walls, on the right bank of the Arroux and to the north of the Roman road from Autun to Langres, Beaune and Besançon.

[4] The new foundation was richly decorated and furnished, largely with marbles, mosaics and other items which Brunhilde took from neighbouring Gallo-Roman buildings.

In 1589 the États de Bourgogne refused financial help to Nicolas Brulard, the then commendatory abbot, for the repair of the fortifications.

[1] The vacant and dilapidated premises were taken over by the reformist Congregation of St Maur in 1635[1] (or 1654[4]), who repaired them, but not the fortifications.

[1] The renovated buildings now operate under the name "Prieuré Saint-Martin" as a local government social centre, with rooms for hire.
