The Royal Abbey of Saint-Riquier stands in Saint-Riquier, France, and is a classified historical monument. Founded in 625 by Richarius (Riquier), the abbey was later rebuilt on a smaller scale, and its present church, built in the 13th and 14th centuries, is a fine example of Flamboyant Gothic architecture. Its richly sculptured west front is surmounted by a square tower, and the interior is notable for its vaulting, Renaissance font, carved stalls and treasury frescoes.
