from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cistercian Abbey Battant was 1227-1791 a monastery of Cistercian nuns in Besancon , Doubs , France .

history

Jean Algrin (also: Allegrin, 1180? –1237), Archbishop of Besançon from 1225 to 1227, founded a nunnery in 1227 in what is now Battant (at that time at the gates of the city), which was accepted into the Cistercian order before 1300 . In 1595 the abbey was demolished for military reasons. The nuns moved to the city center. After two other locations, Abbot General Edmund II. Perrot (1712–1727) of Cîteaux ordered the building of a church and monastery in Rue des Granges (today no. 59) from 1714. Since the dissolution of the monastery by the French Revolution , the buildings have been used for secular purposes. In 1942 the former church building (with rotunda) was placed under monument protection.
