User:Spoonriver/Noirlac Abbey

Noirlac Abbey is a Cistercian abbey in the Bruère-Allichamps commune in France. It was built in 1150 and was active as an abbey until the French Revolution. In 1920 it was bought by the department of Cher, and is now an active cultural center in the region.

The abbey was one of many founded by Charteux, and which are known as 'daughter' abbeys. It was set up early but they got hungry and asked for money.
