Hastings Abbey

Hastings Abbey was a significant medieval monastery built in England around 1240, originally established by monks to serve religious and community needs. Situated near the town of Hastings, it was part of a larger network of abbeys that played key roles in religious, educational, and economic life during the Middle Ages. Over time, the abbey declined, especially after the English Reformation in the 16th century when many monasteries were dissolved. Today, only ruins remain, offering insight into medieval monastic life and architecture, and serving as a historical site for visitors interested in England's religious and cultural heritage.
