A former Benedictine abbey, it belonged to the diocese of Langres until 1731, then to the diocese of Dijon until 1791, when it and its possessions were sold as national property. Much of it was destroyed in 1805, but many buildings remain, such as these two 15th-century towers, a wash house, the convent buildings, and the remains of the 12th-century abbey church.
