The Abbey of St. Marianus (French : Abbaye Saint-Marien d'Auxerre) was a Benedictine, later Premonstratensian, monastery in Auxerre in the French department of Yonne in Burgundy. Established in the fifth century, it was the first monastery established in the diocese. [1] [2]
The abbey was founded as a Benedictine monastery dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian, but was later rededicated to Saint Marianus. It was destroyed during the Norman invasions of the 9th century. In the 11th century, it was rebuilt as a Premonstratensian abbey, which was destroyed in 1570.
The Abbey of St. Marianus was the first of four "daughter" foundations of Auxerre Cathedral, followed by those dedicated to Saint Eusebius, Saint Père (Saint Peter) and Saint Amator (Amâtre). [3] [4]

The Archdiocese of Sens and Auxerre is a Latin archdiocese of the Catholic Church in France. The archdiocese comprises the department of Yonne, which is in the region of Burgundy. Traditionally established in sub-apostolic times, the diocese as metropolis of Quarta Lugdunensis subsequently achieved metropolitical status. For a time, the archbishop of Sens held the title "primate of the Gauls and Germania". Until 1622, the metropolitan archdiocese numbered seven suffragan (subordinate) dioceses: the dioceses of Chartres, Auxerre, Meaux, Paris, Orléans, Nevers and Troyes, which inspired the acronym CAMPONT. The Diocese of Bethléem at Clamecy was also dependent on the metropolitan see of Sens. On December 8, 2002, as part of a general reorganization of the dioceses of France undertaken, at least in part, to respond to demographic changes, the Archdiocese of Sens-Auxerre ceased to have metropolitan rank and became a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Dijon, which became the centre of a new ecclesiastical province for the Burgundy administrative region.
