The Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Solesmes founded in 1897 in the department of Morbihan near Carnac the monastery of Sainte-Anne de Kergonan, which was made a priory in 1898 and an abbey in 1914 (in exile). In 1901 the monks fled to Belgium (Linciaux estate in Ciney near Namur) before the Third Republic was hostile to monasteries. In 1920 they were able to return. From 1943 their convent was confiscated by the German occupiers and they had to live in the Nétumières Castle (in Erbrée).
