Mont-Saint-Éloi (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃ sɛ̃.t‿elwa]; West Flemish: Sint-Elooisberg) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France[3] 5 miles (8 km) northwest of Arras, on the banks of the river Scarpe.

The monastery was founded in the 7th century by Vindicianus, bishop of Arras and devotee of Saint Eligius.

The bishop was buried in the nearby Bois d'Ecoives, but his relics were subsequently removed to the Abbey Church of St. Joseph, which was enlarged in the 11th century.

[5] The medieval buildings were demolished in 1750 to make way for a church and convent, necessitated by the aging and shallow foundations of the old abbey.
