Bayonne Cistercian Abbey
The Cistercian Abbey Bayonne (also: Saint-Bernard de Lasteron ) was 1166-1790 a monastery of Cistercian nuns first in Mouguerre , later in Bayonne , in Pyrénées-Atlantiques in France .
history
The Benedictine monastery of Cagnotte (in the Landes department ) founded a priory southeast of Bayonne in Mouguerre in 1166 , which was settled by Cistercian women in 1245 and made an abbey in 1268 . The name of the monastery fluctuates between Saint-Etienne de Rive-Adour , Saint-Bernard (apud Baionam), Saint-Bernard de Lasteyron , Lasteron, Esteyron or Steyron (name of the district), Betbezé (Bello Visu) or Notre-Dame . The nuns later moved to the city of Bayonne, where the abbey was dissolved in 1790 by the French Revolution . The last abbess was Suzanne de Membrède (1763-1790). Today in Bayonne the street names Chemin de Saint-Bernard and Chemin des Cisterciennes are reminiscent of the former monastery. The archaeological search for traces undertaken in 2008 discovered remains of Gothic buildings. In Mouguerre, however, there seem to be no traces.
