history
The secular priest Bon Onfroy (1777-1857), who (from 1810 until the dissolution of the Cistercian order by Napoleon in 1811) had entered the Grosbois (Yerres) monastery of the Trappists and had received the religious name Augustin , founded in 1824 (with the help of the Port- du-Salut ) a monastery in Bricquebec, which was elevated to a Trappist priory in 1825 and to the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Grâce (Grace of Mary) in 1836 . At the turn of the century Bricquebec was entrusted with the care of the Japanese monasteries Phare and Tenshien , as well as their daughter monasteries, whereby the important abbot Vital Lehodey was particularly distinguished.
