Notre-Dame du Tronchet abbey

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Notre-Dame du Tronchet Abbey was a Benedictine abbey in Le Tronchet (Ille-et-Vilaine) .

Already at the end of the 11th century the hermitage of a Gaultier was located in the forest of Le Tronchet, around which a monastic community gathered. A church was built in 1140, a convent in 1150, which was elevated to an abbey in 1170 under the abbey of Sainte-Trinité de Tiron in Thiron-Gardais . This dependency was lifted in 1258, but this was subsequently ignored.

In 1259 a prayer covenant was made with the Abbey of Notre-Dame-en-Sainte-Melaine ( Rennes ), and in 1274 one with the Abbey of Saint-Jacut ( Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer ). 1278 received the abbey from the English King Edward III. permission to hold a market.

A successor dispute over the office of abbot from 1496 was by Pope Alexander VI. used to let the abbey run by commendatars from 1499 , which led to the decline of the community, as the monastery now only served to care for the non-resident abbot. During the revolution , the abbey was dissolved, looted and sold as a national good.
