history
Several dolmens in the hills around the place indicate an early settlement of the area. The current place probably goes back to a settlement from the 8th century. After the victory over the Sarrazenen , a nephew of Charlemagne had a small monastery built. A second, larger monastery and a Romanesque chapel were probably built towards the end of Charles' reign. Probably in the 12th century a barrel vaulted hall was built , which was the refectory and which is used culturally today.
