Cambrón Cistercian Convent
The Cistercian convent Cambrón was 1208-1588 a monastery of Cistercian nuns in Sádaba , Comarca of Cinco Villas , Zaragoza province in Spain . It is not to be confused with the former Cistercian Abbey of Cambron in Belgium .
history
King Peter II. Of Aragon donated the north of Jaca located Benedictine monastery of Santa María de Iguacel (which the San Juan de la Peña shelter) possessions in Senegüé and Cambrón (4 km south Sádaba), which the nuns made it possible, from 1208 to 1213 to leave the inhospitable Iguácel, to found the Monastery of the Immaculate Conception of Mary (Monasterio de la Concepción de la Virgen) in Cambrón and to become Cistercian with the help of Cistercian women from France (namely the first abbess Osenda Romei or Osendi Romai). The Veruela Monastery was now in charge of supervision . In 1407 the (until then Benedictine) nuns of the Marcilla monastery joined the Cistercian convent. From 1454 to 1474 the nuns were forced to move to Santa María in Foris in Huesca , but were able to return. After the Council of Trent they finally moved to Saragossa and founded the Santa Lucía Monastery there . The Cambrón Monastery was sold. Today there are Romanesque ruins (privately owned) on site.
