History
Initially founded ca. 1200 by Aimery de Lusignan as a house of canons, Bellapais became a Premonstratensian community in 1206. Much of the monastic complex was built during the reigns of Hugh III and Hugh IV of Cyprus in the 13th and 14th centuries. By the late 15th century, the abbey had largely abandoned the Premonstratensian Rule. <br /><br />Following the Ottoman conquest in 1571, the Premonstratensians were expelled and the abbey fell into ruins. Today the site is a museum and concert venue.

History
The abbey of St. Samuel at Acre became home to Premonstratensian brothers who had fled from other houses in the region which had been destroyed in 1187. Its internal history is poorly documented. <br /><br />In 1291, the Mamluk Sultan Al-Ashraf Khalil captured the monastery and put to death the abbot, Égide de Marle, and more than 20 other members of the community.

History
A Premonstratensian house was founded at Kalavryta by Geoffroi II de Villehardouin, later prince of Achaea. Its history is highly obscure. Backmund has suggested that it was founded on the site of an earlier Orthodox monastery, and that the site was later taken over by Cistercians.

History
The abbey of St. Habakuk was founded in the 1130s around the purported tombs of the biblical prophet Habakkuk and of Joseph of Arimithea. The abbey of St. Joseph appears to have diverged from it ca. 1150s. <br /><br />The monastery was destroyed by Saladin's forces in 1187. No remains are visible today, though some ruins were still extant in the late 19th century.

History
The abbey of Montjoie was established during the reign of Fulk of Jerusalem (1131-1143), and the king gave various properties to the new community. The ruling family continued to support Montjoie over the course of the 12th century. There had previously been an Orthodox monastery on the site, which was traditionally believed to be the burial location of the Biblical prophet Samuel. <br /><br />Montjoie was taken by Saladin's forces in 1187. The monastery was then abandoned until 1229, when the Premonstratensians returned. The abbey was finally suppressed in 1244. The abbey's church was built by 1158. <br /><br />During excavations in 1912, its foundations were uncovered. A mosque now stands on the site.

A short-lived and poorly documented community.

The house of St. Joseph at Rantis was established ca. 1150, and had diverged from the abbey of St. Habakkuk by the later 12th century when the two houses are mentioned as having separate abbots. <br /><br />The monastery was likely destroyed by Saladin's forces in 1187. Some fragmentary ruins were apparently still extant in the 1930s.
