List of Augustinian monasteries in France

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

This is a list of Augustinian monasteries, extant and non-extant, in the present territory of France. It includes both canons and canonesses following the Rule of Saint Augustine, excluding the Premonstratensians, the Canons Regular of the Order of the Holy Cross (Crosiers), the Canons Regular of Saint Anthony (Hospital Brothers of Saint Anthony, or Antonines) and the Teutonic Order.

At different times these religious houses have formed various orders, congregations or groups, of which the main ones, as far as French monasteries are concerned, are the following:

The present congregations are united in the Confederation of Canons Regular of St Augustine, established in 1959.[1]

All religious houses in France were suppressed during the French Revolution, mostly in 1790–91. Some communities were revived, and many more new ones established, during the 19th century, but were forced to leave France by anti-clerical legislation during the 1880s (principally the Ferry Laws), and again in the first decades of the 20th century under the Association Act, 1901 (the Waldeck-Rousseau Law).

Dependent priories are not generally noted in this list, except for a few unusually significant ones.
