Note: "The Abbey of Saint Maurice, Agaunum (French: Abbaye de Saint-Maurice d´Agaune or Saint-Maurice-en-Valais) is a Swiss monastery of canons regular in Saint-Maurice, Canton of Valais, which dates from the 6th century. It is situated against a cliff in a section of the road between Geneva and the Simplon Pass (to northern Italy). The abbey itself is a territorial abbacy and not part of any diocese. It is best known for its connection to the story of the martyrdom of the Theban Legion, its original practice of perpetual psalmody, and a collection of art and antiquity.

The abbey is now the center of the village, which was vacated in the mid 20th century and is wholly owned by the territorial abbey. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance." - (en.wikipedia.org 03.02.2020)
