Maubeuge Abbey

It is thought to have possibly been where the young Jan Gossaert, a Renaissance-era painter known as Jan Mabuse, was educated, claimed by some to have been a native of the town of Maubeuge, which grew up around the abbey.

St. Amalberga of Maubeuge became a member of the community later in the eighth century.
