Psalmody Abbey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psalmody Abbey, also Psalmodie Abbey or Psalmodi Abbey (French: Abbaye de Psalmody, Psalmodi or Psalmodie), was a Benedictine abbey located near Saint-Laurent-d'Aigouze in the Camargue, in the department of Gard and the region of Languedoc-Roussillon in the south of France. It was destroyed in 1703.[1]
Psalmody Abbey was founded in the 5th century by monks from the Abbey of St. Victor, Marseille.[1]
The new monastery acquired considerable importance and became directly accountable to Rome. Its influence grew throughout the region, mostly because of its trade in salt. It reached its peak in the 12th century, and its decline set in from the 15th. It was secularised in the 16th century by a bull of Pope Paul III and the buildings were largely destroyed during the war of the Camisards by Catinat, although its revenues continued to be drawn by commendatory abbots until the French Revolution.
Only a few scattered ruins survive. The site was declared a monument historique in 1984.[2]
