The Larrivour Monastery (Notre-Dame d l'Arrivour; Ripatorium) is a former Cistercian abbey in the commune of Lusigny-sur-Barse in the Aube department , Grand Est region , in France , around 17 km east of Troyes , on the edge of the forest of Orient (Forêt de l'Orient) at the bar .
history
The monastery was founded in 1140 under the protection of the Count of Champagne Thibaud II as the daughter of the Clairvaux Primary Abbey . Alan of Auxerre became the first abbot . The monastery prospered, was destroyed in the Hundred Years War , but recovered again. In Troyes it had a branch on Rue de Molesme. From the monastery, which was dissolved in the French Revolution in 1791, there are only small remains of manor buildings and the Grangie Champigny.
