History
Abbey established in 1170 on land granted in 1150 by Alain, seneschal of Dol, upon his return from a crusade. No building survives from this period. The abbey suffered destruction during the League of the Catholic Union. The current remains date from the 17th century. The church, cloister and a few rooms adjoining the south side of the latter still exist.
