Detail InformationEdit

Valloires Abbey is a 12th century Cistercian abbey situated in the commune of Argoules in the Somme department of France. In 1138, Guy II of Ponthieu agreed with Cistercian monks to the foundation of their seventh abbey in France. The monks established themselves at Valloires in the valley of the Authie river in 1158 AD.
At the height of its prosperity, in the 12th and 13th centuries, the abbey was home to about one hundred monks. The abbey’s wealth allowed the construction of the first abbey in the rib-vaulted style as early as 1226. In the following centuries, especially during the Hundred Years War and the Thirty Years War, the abbey suffered badly because of military operations and pillage.
In 1817, the abbey was handed into the care of the lay brotherhood of the Basilians, then in 1880 to the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul to be used as an orphanage. Sold again in 1906, it was classified as a historic monument, then abandoned. During the World War I it was transformed into a military hospital.
