Historique
Abbaye fondée en 1137 par Hugues, archevêque de Tours, dont les religieux suivaient la règle de Saint-Augustin. Détruits par un incendie à la fin du 12e siècle, les bâtiments furent reconstruits par Thibault de Champagne, comte de Blois. La nouvelle église fut consacrée en 1207. Pillé par les Protestants, le monastère est restauré en 1564. Devenu vétuste au milieu du 18e siècle, les religieux reconstruisent en 1737 un nouveau logis pour eux et un pavillon plus petit pour le logement de l'abbé. En 1791, l'abbaye est vendue comme bien national.£De l'ancien monastère subsistent les ruines de l'église, à savoir le mur goutterot des trois travées du collatéral sud, en maçonnerie du 12e siècle. A été conservée également l'aile du 12e siècle, bâtiment qui limitait le cloître à l'ouest. Elle est prolongée au nord par la grange. Un bâtiment de servitude du 13e siècle, remanié au 15e, le bâtiment monastique de 1737, ainsi que le logis de l'abbé subsistent encore.

History
Abbey founded in 1137 by Hugues, archbishop of Tours, whose monks followed the rule of Saint-Augustine. Destroyed by a fire at the end of the 12th century, the buildings were reconstructed by Thibault of Champagne, count of Blois. The new church was consecrated in 1207. Pillaged by Protestants, the monastery was restored in 1564. Having become dilapidated in the mid-18th century, the monks rebuilt in 1737 a new dwelling for themselves and a smaller pavilion for the lodging of the abbot. In 1791, the abbey was sold as national property. Of the old monastery subsist the ruins of the church, namely the gutter wall of the three bays of the south aisle, in 12th-century masonry. Also preserved is the aisle of the 12th century, a building which limited the cloister to the west. It is extended to the north by the barn. A service building of the 13th century, reworked in the 15th, the monastic building of 1737, as well as the abbot's dwelling still subsist.
