history
The monastery was founded in 1119 by the Cadouin monastery, which at that time did not yet belong to the Cistercian order , but joined the Cistercian order as a daughter monastery of Cadouin as early as 1124 and thus belonged to the filiation of the Primary Abbey of Pontigny . As a result of the wars of religion, the church went missing. The remaining buildings were converted into a castle. During the French Revolution , the monastery came to an end in 1791.
