Summary :
The subject of this conference proposal comes from the results of a newly excavated suburban monastery, the Saint-Vanne abbey in Verdun : located on a hilltop at the crossroads of major ways and rivers during the Antiquity and the Middle Ages, the former abbey was later incorporated inside a major modern fortress (16th c.), the High Citadel of Verdun, and thus left untouched from contemporary buildings.
The paper will summarize the results of the two first seasons of excavations, whose main objective was the global understanding of the layout, of the site from the earliest ecclesiastical occupation (first half of the 7th c.) to the different building and occupation phases of the monastery in the Gothic era (15th c.), with an emphasis on the most magnificent period, under Richard’s abbacy (11th century). The function of each space (place of worship and burial ground) will be especially considered, in relationship with the local cult of holy relics. A comparison with other monasteries of the Mosan greater area (today’s Belgium) will be made, regarding their architectural and stylistic character.
