Religion, Monasteries, Interesting Places

The Abbey of Saint-Cybard was a Benedictine monastery located just outside the northern city walls of Angoulême.

According to Gregory of Tours in the Historia Francorum (VI, 8), the monastery was founded by Saint Eparchius in the sixth century. Little is known about the institution after its founding until 852, when King Charles the Bald confirmed a series of gifts to the abbey made by Abbot Launus, who was also the bishop of Angoulême.
