The Augustinian monastery on the Robermont hill east of the Meuse in Liège passed to the Cistercian nuns in 1215, but they had to give it up in 1231 because of a fire to move to the Val-Benoît monastery . From there, some of the nuns returned to Robermont in 1244. In the course of the advance of the French Revolution , the abbey was closed and dismantled in 1796. Today the Robermont municipal cemetery is located there.
