The Abbatial Tower Museum occupies the remarkable 17th-century Abbatial Tower, a historical monument listed in 1846, located in Saint-Amand-les-Eaux in the Nord region. The restored building preserves notable architectural decorations, including a sculptured vault on the ground floor adorned with ribbon motifs, fantastic masks and moldings. The permanent collections present a panorama of Amandian ceramics from the 18th to 20th centuries, including earthenware with decorations inspired by the Far East and traditions of northern manufactories. The central hall, beneath a broken-arch vault 22 meters high, houses works related to the abbey's history as well as religious sculptures and paintings from the 16th to 18th centuries from the former Southern Netherlands. The ground floor hosts temporary exhibitions. The museum has received the label.
