In the 7th century, Beaulieu-en-Argonne already had an abbey, founded by a Scottish monk, Saint-Rouin, who gave his name to the village church. Part of the abbey still remains, including an old oak press from the 13th century, of impressive dimensions: it is one of the largest in Europe and weighs 30 tonnes! Next to it, a fresco represents the village as it was in 1789. Outside, there are some traces of the ancient walls of the abbey.
