Lannoy Abbey

Plan of Lannoy Abbey, 1775

Lannoy Abbey, also called Briostel, was a Cistercian abbey in present-day Oise, France.

It was founded in 1147, from Beaubec Abbey[1]

The abbey was probably founded after the donation of two petty lords implanted edge of Picardy and Normandy. The first donation comes in 1135 by Lambert Bretizel, giving land in the parish of Briotel today Briot (Oise) in the locality current Écorchevache and a farm located Thieuloy (current Thieuloy- Saint-Antoine). Guillaume bisette, his overlord, confirms the foundation the same year by the donation of half the land of the parish of Briotel and a quarter of its tithes and cemetery of Marseille-en-Beauvaisis. The following year, another donation was made by three brothers, Bernier Clermont, Ansoud and Hubert de Ronquerolles, from a branch of the counts of Clermont, which consists of the other half of the parish. Meanwhile, Simon and Bertelincourt Nanteuil Gaudechart give the land of the parish of Thieuloy and part of Saint-Maur. A community of twelve monks, led by Father Osmond, settled in the locality, from Abbey Beaubec, founded in 1128 in Normandy, which itself is a dependency of the Benedictine Abbey of Savigny.[2]

In 1147, at the beginning of Abbot William I, the entire congregation of Savigny pass of the order of Cluny in the Cistercian order. Lannoy starts to follow the rule cistercienne.[3] After many donations, Father Guillaume obtained in 1162 by King Louis VII, its protection and exemption from secular justice. This exemption was confirmed the following year by a bull of Pope Alexander III.[4] During the entire period until the beginning of the thirteenth century, donations and exchanges of land and rights are multiplying.

Donations are increasingly distant from the abbey barns are then organized for the operation of its land. They are well installed in Montreuil-sur-Therain, to Orsimont at Montceaux said Abbey, with Monperthuis in Halloy and Thieuloy. They are then exploited in owner occupation, both by monks and lay by serviteurs.[5] In the early fourteenth century, the monks encourage the installation of sharecroppers for the exploitation of their lands. They settled in new villages such as that of Halloy, erected in parish founded by letter from the bishop of Amiens in 1307.[6][7]

Buildings

The building, as described in the late eighteenth century, was surrounded by a wall built in 1666. The convent buildings, restored and converted in 1658 but also in 1670 and 1710, formed a quadrangle stuck to the abbey and forming a cloister in the center. The church, built mostly in the second half of the twelfth century, had the shape of a Latin cross, with a long chorus of 21 meters by 9 meters wide, a transept 30 meters long and a nave 37 m long before its destruction in 1658. the vault reached the height of 18 m. The set was Gothic. The building, as described in the late eighteenth century, was surrounded by a wall built in 1666.

The current buildings [edit | modify the code]

You can still see on the spot the old abbey house, built by the abbot at the end of the sixteenth century. It was largely rebuilt in the 1660–1670 years. Surrender, an old barn and a dairy and dovecote was built in the years 1770.[9] The abbey building for its facades and roofs, common, except those of the twentieth century, the gardens and their gate and terraces are enrolled in as historical monuments by order of 30 May 1988.[10]

The remaining monastic buildings date mainly from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It is near the former home of justice. This building, built in the 1770s, formerly consisted of two parts: a courtroom and a room of the Council20. The set has been a restoration.[11] These buildings, as well as the House of Justice, registered by order of 2 April 2002, as the former farm of the abbey, called the Lower Cour18, which was the subject of a pardon and 2010[12] the old mill on the Petit Thérain. The main altar of the abbey is now in the church of Saint-Maur.
