Valliscaulian Order, Medieval abbey and religious order in Essarois, France.
The monastery complex of Val des Choues contains ancient stone structures with architectural elements from the 12th century within dense forest surroundings.
Established in 1193 by Viard, a Carthusian lay brother, the Valliscaulian Order received support from Duke Odo III of Burgundy during the Fourth Crusade.
The monks followed rules combining Carthusian and Cistercian practices, focusing on strict personal salvation through prayer, study, and limited material possessions.
The site maintains its status as a protected monument historique inscrit since 1992, with coordinates at 47.771454 latitude and 4.753836 longitude.
The order engaged in salt production and developed thirty dependent houses across France, Germany, and Scotland before merging with Cistercians in 1761.
