The monastery of Sanctus Archangelus has been a Cistercian monastery on the island of Evia in Greece for at least a short time since 1223 .

history

In 1223, the bishop of Negroponte ( Euboea ) gave the Greek monastery of Sanctus Archangelus in the diocese of Negroponte to the monastery of Chortaiton , which became its daughter monastery in this way. How long the monastery existed as a Frankish monastery is not known. If it did not end in the 12th century, it will probably have perished with the Turkish conquest of Euboea in 1470 at the latest .
