Tart Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Tart-l'Abbaye, France
The abbey stands near Genlis on the banks of the River Ouche, featuring stone buildings within the Burgundy landscape of Côte-d'Or department.
Founded in 1132 by Arnoul Cornu and his wife Emeline, Tart Abbey became the first nunnery of the Cistercian movement in France.
The nuns managed several vineyards while lay brothers from Cîteaux Abbey performed physical labor in the fields following Cistercian traditions.
The abbey operated until the French Revolution, when its community disbanded and the buildings transitioned into different uses over time.
The abbey influenced the establishment of numerous Cistercian nunneries throughout France and Spain during its active religious period.
