The Mont Notre-Dame monastery was founded in 1230 near the town of Provins (now in the Seine-et-Marne department in France ) for Cistercian women.
history
The monastery was burned down in 1298 and ravaged by Charles II of Navarre (Charles le Mauvais) in 1358 . After joining the Preuilly Abbey , it fell into disrepair in the 15th century. In 1648 it passed to the Cooperative of the Daughters of Christian Love of St. Vincent de Paul , but it continued to exist as a legal entity until the French Revolution . In the second half of the 18th century, however, it became part of the Villiers-aux-Nonnains Abbey and the Monastery of La Joie (Nemours) united. The plant was converted into a farm located around two kilometers north-northeast of Provins, which is still called "Filles-Dieu" today.
