history
The fifth daughter monastery of the Cîteaux monastery was founded in 1118 by Stephan Harding on land that the Count of Champagne, Thibaut, had made available. The first abbot was Arthaud. The soon-to-be prosperous monastery founded the daughter monasteries Kloster Vauluisant , Kloster Barbeau and Kloster La Colombe . It was devastated and looted in the 14th and 15th centuries. In 1536 it fell into the coming period . The monastery was looted again in 1567 and 1652. The buildings were renovated at the beginning of the 18th century. After the dissolution of the monastery in the French Revolution , the demolition began, which was only carried out after another sale in 1829 to Dr. Husson ended. The buildings have been protected as a monument historique since 1927 .
