The Rioseco Monastery (Santa María de Rioseco; Rivus siccus) is a former Cistercian abbey in the municipality of Valle de Manzanedo around 70 km north of Burgos in the province of Burgos in Castile-León in Spain .
history
The monastery, founded in 1148 as the daughter of the Valbuena monastery from the filiation of the Morimond primary abbey , was moved to its permanent location in 1236. The monastery grew stronger in the late Middle Ages, but later got into a crisis. It also suffered from the Wars of Liberation in 1808 and 1809. In 1820 it was occupied by the commissioners of the revolutionary government and part of its property was sold. It was dissolved in 1835 under the government of Juan Álvarez Mendizábal . As a result, the monastery was used as a warehouse, parish church and cemetery. As a result, the facility fell into disrepair.
