Arrouaise, Augustinian abbey near Le Transloy, France
The monastery complex formed a religious center in northern France, situated within the former forest of Arrouaise, southeast of the town of Bapaume.
The priory received recognition as an abbey in 1121 under its first abbot Gervaise, continuing operations until dissolution during the French Revolution in 1790.
As headquarters of the Arrouaisian Order, the monastery developed a specific interpretation of canonical life based on Augustinian principles with additional rigorous practices.
The abbey location served travelers along major medieval routes connecting Paris to Flanders and England to Burgundy through the Ardennes forest region.
A catalog manuscript of 248 pages documents the entire library collection of Arrouaise Abbey, compiled near the end of the Ancien Régime.
