St. Genevieve's Church, Alain

The Church of Saint Genevieve, formally known as the Royal Abbey and Collegiate Church of Saint Genevieve, is a large church located between the Brick Quarter and Rialto areas of Alain City. It is run by the Benedictine Order, however as a Royal Peculiar it is not owned by the Church, but by the crown.

It is the church of the Royal Family, and is where the King and his family worships on Sundays. On other days, the Chapel Royal, in Alain Castle, is used.

History
Founded by Bishop Roche in 946 as the first Benedictine abbey in the Kingdom. Expanded greatly by King Güthrac I in the 1220's, at the same time as the Cathedral.

Instead of having monastic buildings surrounding the Church, the monks own and run the monastic buildings and Choir school at the Cathedral. The two are connected via an underground tunnel.
