Abbey founded in 1134, rebuilt in the 18th century on the plans of the Benedictine architect Dom Vincent Duchesne. The construction of the cloisters begins from 1708. The church is built between 1759 and 1763 on the plans of the architect Jean-Charles Colombot. Sold as national property at the Revolution, the abbey is transformed into a castle and its church destroyed. Around 1920, destruction of the western wing. Of the old abbey there remain the east and south wings of the claustral buildings as well as their cloister galleries.
