This former Cistercian abbey was founded in the thirteenth century. Over the years, the complex has grown into an impressive ensemble of wings and three courtyards surrounded by a park of approximately 14 hectares. The abbey was very important in the Middle Ages. However, after the French Revolution, the monks were expelled and the buildings served as a prison and storage place for the army.
