It was founded in 1118 and is now in ruins. It was Étienne Harding who entrusted Artaud, a fellow student of Saint Bernard, accompanied by a dozen men, with the creation of the abbey. The construction of the abbey began around 1170 and ended around 1200. This establishment prospered quickly thanks to the support of Thibaut IV of Champagne and his mother, Adèle de Blois. Preuilly Abbey In 1127, the monks of Preuilly in turn founded the abbey of Vauluisant. Preuilly is also at the origin of the founding of Barbeau Abbey. The convent buildings and the church were declared “national property” and put up for auction on April 28, 1791 in several lots. The demolition continued until Doctor Henri-Marie Husson bought, from 1829 to 1842, the various lots of the former dismantled monastery, thus restoring it to its former unity. His son acquired the last room, the abbey dwelling, in 1866. The demolitions were stopped. Preuilly Abbey Around 1860, a chapel was built in the abbot's chapel, the church sacristy and the armarium.

aint Loup-de-Naud located near Provins, has a Romanesque church from the 11th and 12th centuries, considered one of the most beautiful Romanesque buildings in Île-de-France. It has a barrel-shaped nave and a portal in early Gothic style with a remarkable tympanum depicting Christ in majesty between the symbols of the evangelists. New for the time, statues of saints and prophets adorn the sides of the portal. No document allows us to precisely date the construction of the entire church. The portal would be from the second half of the 12th century (around 1160). The town is the seat of the Benedictine priory of Saint-Loup, the destination of an important pilgrimage in honor of the relics of Saint-Loup, bishop of Sens. The church was completed thanks to donations from Henry the Liberal, Count of Champagne. The priory was ruined by the English in 1432 and by the Protestants in 1567.
