Abbey

Boulaur Abbey, or St Mary's Abbey, Boulaur (Template:Langx), is a monastery of Cistercian nuns. It was founded in the 12th century as a priory of the Order of Fontevraud that was abolished during the French Revolution. Cistercian nuns reinstated it at the end of the 19th century but were expelled under the Associations Act of 1901 (the Waldeck-Rousseau Law). Monastic life was definitively restored in 1949. In 2011 the community had about 30 nuns.[2] In 2022 they declared their intention to resettle the Trappist Abbey of Notre-Dame des Neiges.[3]
