Abbaye de Boscodon

24 May 2019 30 32 851
Founded in 1142, the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Boscodon was built by cenobite monks of the Monastic Order of Chalais2 thanks to the donations of the local lord, Guillaume de Montmirail. These monks succeeded hermits gathered around a certain William of Lyonne. The initial donation, dated 1132, took place in the presence of Guillaume de Bénévent, future Archbishop of Embrun3. In 1303, when Chalais became dependent on the Charterhouse4, Boscodon became chief of the order; then, at the beginning of the 15th century, Benedictine. The monks live from the exploitation of the forest and the estate, and from the breeding of sheep. The abbey of Boscodon also had, in Les Mées, the priory of Paillerols since the 13th century. In the 18th century, at the time of the Commission des Réguliers, the abbey was attached to the Archdiocese of Embrun, and part of its buildings were destroyed. During the French Revolution, the abbey and its estates became national property. Joseph Berthe acquires the buildings. A hamlet was built around the abbey church which became a stable, stable and housing. In the 20th century, the inhabitants gradually left the hamlet. +++++ Fondée en 1142, l'abbaye de Notre-Dame de Boscodon est bâtie par des moines cénobites de l'Ordre monastique de Chalais2 grâce aux dons du seigneur local, Guillaume de Montmirail. Ces moines ont succédé à des ermites rassemblés autour d'un certain Guillaume de Lyonne. La donation initiale, datée de 1132, s'est déroulée en présence de Guillaume de Bénévent, futur archevêque d'Embrun3. En 1303, alors que Chalais passe sous la dépendance de la Chartreuse4, Boscodon devient chef d'ordre ; puis, au début du xve siècle, bénédictine. Les moines vivent de l'exploitation de la forêt et du domaine, et de l'élevage de moutons. L’abbaye de Boscodon possédait par ailleurs, aux Mées, le prieuré de Paillerols à partir du xiie siècle. Au xviiie siècle, au moment de la Commission des Réguliers, l'abbaye est rattachée à l'archevêché d'Embrun, et une partie de ses bâtiments est détruite. Pendant la Révolution française, l'abbaye et ses domaines deviennent propriété nationale. Joseph Berthe acquiert les bâtiments. Un hameau se construit autour de l'abbatiale qui devient écurie, étable, logement. Au xxe siècle, les habitants quittent progressivement le hameau. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_Notre-Dame_de_Boscodon PIP ABOVE

Things that start with the letter "T" presented in a square aspect ratio. The easiest thing for me would have been going out and take pic s of trees in the Serra, as I love to. I decided to challenge myself and look for objects at home, what was even more challenging because I had to find things starting with "T" but in English, not in my own language. PIP ABOVE TILE
