Sauvelade Abbey was founded by Benedictines in 1127 and later taken over by the Cistercian order. In 1385 there were 17 households there.
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauvelade
The monastery church is very simple, which can be attributed to the Cistercians. The Cistercians wanted to live exclusively from the work of their own hands. There was nothing left for magnificent stucco work and expensive architecture.
This abbey was ravaged by the fearsome troops of Montgommery. However, the Cistercians were finally driven out in the French Revolution.
