Saint-Aubin-des-Bois Monastery, Cistercian monastery in Plédéliac, France
The Saint-Aubin-des-Bois monastery features stone buildings and architectural elements reflecting medieval religious construction techniques in northern France.
Founded in 1138 by Count Geoffroi II Botherel of Lamballe and Penthièvre, the monastery received confirmation of its donations from Pope Eugene III in 1143.
The monastery maintained strong connections with the Cistercian order, implementing spiritual reforms according to Cîteaux principles during the 17th century.
The remains of the monastery stand in Côtes-d'Armor, providing visitors with insights into medieval religious architecture through its preserved structures.
Following the French Revolution, the monastery transformed into a retirement home for priests in 1825 under direction of the Bishop of Saint-Brieuc.
