The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette abbaye a été fondée en 1189 par Richard Coeur de Lion, roi d'Angleterre. Les moines de Cîteaux s'y sont établis dès 1190. La construction des bâtiments s'est étalée pendant la première moitié du 13e siècle. En 1387 a eu lieu la reconstruction du cloître. Aux 17e, 18e et 19e siècles ont été entrepris quelques travaux d'agrandissement et de restauration : agrandissement de la sacristie, nouvelle reconstruction du cloître (1752-1757) , etc. Après la Révolution, l'abbaye a été vendue comme bien national, ce qui a entraîné la destruction de l'église et du cloître et la dispersion du mobilier et de la bibliothèque.

This abbey was founded in 1189 by Richard the Lionheart, King of England. The monks of Cîteaux established themselves there from 1190. The construction of the buildings was spread over the first half of the 13th century. In 1387 there took place the reconstruction of the cloister. In the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries some works of enlargement and restoration were undertaken: enlargement of the sacristy, new reconstruction of the cloister (1752-1757), etc. After the Revolution, the abbey was sold as national property, which led to the destruction of the church and cloister and the dispersal of the furnishings and library.
