history

When the Trappist women, who moved out of the Sembrancher monastery in 1798, returned from their many years of wandering under Abbot Augustin de Lestrange in 1803 (unless they had stayed in Darfeld-Rosenthal monastery or had already crossed to England to found the Stapehill monastery ), Sembrancher was no longer available Available. That is why Lestrange housed her in La Grande Riedera Castle from 1804 , then in Petite Riedera Castle in Montévraz (often also: Riedra ). The administrator of the monastery was Augustin Pignard . The nuns were able to avoid the Cistercian ban imposed by Napoleon in 1809 . In 1816 they followed the general return movement of the exiled monasteries, first to the Forges and Frénouville monasteries planned by Lestrange, and from there to the Lyon-Vaise monastery in 1817 .
