history
The monastery was settled in 1131 by a convent sent from the Clairvaux Primary Abbey . With the support of Duke Rainald III. of Burgundy it flourished quickly and the number of monks was several hundred. Was Cherlieu to the mother abbey of two daughter monasteries in the later Switzerland ( monastery Hautcrêt and hauterive abbey ) and several other monasteries ( Acey Abbey , Abbey Le Gard and Abbey Beaulieu-en-Bassigny ). Cherlieu owned several grangien , including marlay, wine cellars, mills and blast furnaces. In the 15th century the monastery was ravaged by the Écorcheurs and set on fire in 1569 by the Protestants under Wolfgang von Zweibrücken . It was rebuilt at the beginning of the 16th century under Abbot Ferdinand de Rye. In 1637 it was occupied by Swedish troops. In 1773 the abbot's house was rebuilt. After the French Revolution , the abbey was used as a quarry.
Buildings and plant
The kitchen and refectory from the 17th and 18th centuries, but without vaults, as well as some ruins of the cloister from the 15th century have been preserved.
