Cours de l'Abbaye, 67140 Barr · Andlau, SÉLESTAT, France
Andlau Abbey was founded in or about 880 by Richardis, later Saint Richardis, Empress of Charles the Fat, on her ancestral lands. The foundation legend states that the abbey was sited where Richardis saw a she-bear scratching at the soil; a bear is one of her emblems in reference to this. In 887 Richardis was put to the ordeal by fire by her husband on the pretext of adultery with the chancellor Liutward.
