Saint Gondelbert, (also Gondelbertus, Gundebert, Gumbert, Gombert, Gondeberg) was the founder of the Benedictine Senones Abbey in the (fr:Rabodeau) valley of the Vosges mountains around 650 AD,[2][3] and its first abbot. He died around 676.[1]

The Benedictine monks of Senones Abbey preserve the tradition, dating from the eleventh century, that Gondelbert was the archbishop of Sens before he founded the abbey[4] and that the abbey is named after the diocese of Sens (Senonis in Latin).[4][5]

He is a Catholic saint and his feastday is 21 February.[6]
