history

The abbot of the Cistercian monastery Sylvanès founded the Cistercian monastery Nonenque in his neighborhood in 1146, which was settled by nuns from Bellecombe monastery . 1219 it founded its part, the Priory Cayssac in Rodez . and in 1257 the Saint-Sulpice priory in 1232 it was elevated to an abbey . This had over 10,000 hectares of land, eight grangia and (since 1170) a summer residence for the abbess in Saint-Jean-d'Alcas (today: Saint-Jean-et-Saint-Paul). Over the centuries, the monastery was destroyed several times and the convent dispersed, but it was also gathered and rebuilt again and again, until it was finally closed by the French Revolution in 1790. In 1927 the Carthusian nuns of the Le Gard monastery bought the building and built one of today's two female Carthusians on French soil. André Margerit (1930–2012) wrote the novel La Dame de Nonenque (1992).
