history

The Benedictine monastery Marmoutier founded a daughter monastery in 1104 on the river Puits (tributary of the Aube ) between Troyes and Vitry-le-François , which was followed in 1229 by the Cistercian abbey of La Piété-Dieu ("Piety, Divine Love") founded by Philippe de Meeringes . The nunnery existed until 1440. Then the place was repopulated by the Cîteaux monastery . This Cistercian monastery was dissolved in 1791 by the French Revolution . There are no building remains. A statue of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux is in the local church of Ramerupt.

The monastery should not be confused with the monastery L'Épau , which was also called La Piété-Dieu and is occasionally run under this name.
