The Abbey of St Vaast was a Benedictine monastery situated in Arras, département of Pas-de-Calais, France.The abbey was founded in 667. Saint Vedast, or Vaast was the first Bishop of Arras and was buried in the old cathedral at Arras. In 667 Aubert, seventh Bishop of Arras, began to build an abbey for Benedictine monks on the site of a little chapel which Saint Vedast had erected in honour of Saint Peter. Vedast's relics were transferred to the new abbey, which was completed by Auburt's successor and generously endowed by King Theuderic III, who together with his wife was afterwards buried there.
