Historic Ruins

Originally it was a Benedictine monastery, founded by Saint Landelinus about 637.

Before 974 the Benedictines were replaced by secular clerics leading a common life, who, however, embraced the Rule of St. Augustine in 1144. The French burned it at the end of the 18th century, only a short time after it had been rebuilt on a larger scale. The library, which contained 40,000 books was also destroyed.
