history

When in 1903 the monasteries in France threatened to be dissolved by the law separating church and state , some of the Trappist women from La Coudre monastery founded the Notre Dame de Bonne Garde monastery in Blitterswijck (also: Blitterswyck), Venray , Netherlands, as a refuge but gave it up in 1919 due to floods and in 1920 was sent from the mother monastery (keeping the name) to re-founding in Sainte-Anne-d'Auray, where the community lasted until 1953, but then relocated to Campénéac to re-establish it (with a change of name) .
