Founded in the 12th century by Premonstratensian canons, the abbey earned the nickname Outremer for its attachment to the kings of England during the Hundred Years’ War. The abbey church, the oldest part of which dates back to 1164, features Romanesque windows on the second floor and Gothic vaulting on the second.
