13 / The Mill Abbey (59-Maroilles)
In Thiérache the old mill site at the foot of which stretches Helpe, with the building of the seventeenth century, which served to welcome guests of the abbey is very popular with painters and walkers.
This mill is as old as the monastery. On the lintel of a door, it reads the motto of Father Frederic Yves (1564-1599): "Adb erera bonum a Deo," which means: "It is good to focus on God."
