history

The Cistercian Abbey L'Éclache took over the supervision of the 1160 of Agnès Guiburge of Bourbon-L'Archambaut (1125–1172) and her husband Ebles (also: Ebe or Ebbe ) IV. Of Charenton (1115–1161) southeast of Culan in the valley the Bussières nunnery founded by Queugne (Latin: Buxeriensis "in the boxwood forest ", see French: buis = box tree, buisson = bush). The name Bussières-les-Nonains (or: Bussières-les-Nonnains "Nonnen-Bussières") was also used to differentiate it from the Cistercian monastery of La Bussière . The dispute between the L'Éclache monastery and the Noirlac monastery over supervisory rights is historically known . For security reasons, the convent moved to the city of Bourges in 1625. There the school Turly-la-Bussière (place Montesquieu, before 1990 "La Bussière") reminds of the monastery, but there is no information about its dissolution (probably due to the French Revolution ). Today there are private buildings at the medieval site.
