The previous church of Pont-Rémy was built in the 15th century near the feudal castle. Its dilapidation led the municipality to decide to build a new place of worship in the center of the village. Construction lasted from 1867 to 1871.

It was founded by the future Saint Riquier in 625, on a spring, the object of a very ancient pagan cult. The abbey became royal in 632 thanks to the protection granted to it by Dagobert I. It was Charlemagne himself who entrusted his son-in-law, Angilbert, with the construction of a new and vast abbey using the finest materials, thus forging a model of religious architecture for ecclesiastical buildings in the West. Thanks to a library that, over the centuries, became one of the most important in Europe, and a scriptorium active in the creation and dissemination of the Caroline minuscule, the abbey played a significant role in the preservation and transmission of knowledge until the end of the 12th century. A jewel of Gothic architecture, the Abbey has suffered numerous destructions due to fires and looting, but remains today one of the most beautiful buildings in France, notably thanks to the work carried out by Charles d'Aligre in the 17th century.
