A grange, and perhaps also a priory, which was in the possession of the Premonstratensian abbey of Verdun from the late 12th until the 14th century. It was given to the abbey in 1176 by Henri IV, count of Namur. In the 1370s, ownership passed to the abbey of Münster.

History
Blackwose was initially founded as a dependent community of Lavendon before 1158, perhaps by Geoffrey de Mandeville, lord of Saltwood. As a result of scandal, Blackwose was transferred to the abbey of Bradsole shortly after 1203/04 as a result of this. <br /><br />Damaged during the invasion of 1216, the priory was restored but later became a grange. It was dissolved ca. 1377. Nothing remains at the site today.

History
Blanchelande had its origins in a community of hermits, and was founded in 1154/55 by husband and wife, Richard de la Haye and Mathilde de Vernon, lord and lady of La Haye du Puits. It joined the Premonstratensian Order before 1170, and its abbey church was consecrated in 1185. <br /><br />Blanchelande possessed substantial holdings in England and the Channel Islands, but suffered economic difficulties in the 15th century. It was damaged by war in the 16th century, and became a commendatory abbey in 1664. Blanchelande was dissolved during the Revolution.<br /><br />(<em>Not to be confused with <a href="https://yvonneseale.org/atlas/items/show/162">Blanchland</a> (England))</em>

History
Founded in 1165 as a priory by Walter de Bolebec, Blanchland became an abbey in the 13th century. It was never a very large house, and suffered damage during the Anglo-Scottish Wars in the 14th century. <br /><br />After the Dissolution, the site passed into private hands. Part of the abbey church was retained and became the local parish church, which contains some surviving medieval glass. Part of the cloister was incorporated into a later hotel on the site.<br /><br />(<em>Not to be confused with <a href="https://yvonneseale.org/atlas/items/show/170">Blanchelande</a> (France))</em>

History
Founded in 1246 by Mechtild von Meißen-Landsberg, Blankenberg's affiliation was soon altered in accordance from Premonstratensian to Cistercian with the wishes expressed by her husband, Heinrich III, count of Sayn, in his will. It is probable that the Premonstratensian community at Blankenberg was only ever planned and never properly established.

History
The knight Albert Flohenges gave land at Blanzey to the Premonstratensians of Sainte-Marie-au-Bois by 1162. The abbess of Bouxières gave her rights over the church there to the Premonstratensian Order in the 1160s. For much of the Middle Ages, Blanzey was a priory dependent on Sainte-Marie-au-Bois but by the early 18th century was a parish church with one Premonstratensian living there as curate. <br /><br />The Premonstratensian community was suppressed at the Revolution. For a time the priory church served as a chandler's workshop. It was reconsecrated ca. 1840 and is today a parish church. The church and its crypt, which still survive, dates to the late 12th-15th century.

History
The sisters of Langen moved to Blauhaus in 1499 because their original site was becoming submerged beneath the Dollart. The construction of the new monastic complex was largely complete by 1525. From the 1520s onwards, the monastery faced opposition from the comital family of East Frisia and was slowly dissolved. The last mention of members of the community was 1585. <br /><br />The remains of the monastic complex at Blauhaus were demolished in the early 18th century. A farm now occupies the site.

Founded by 1213; Premonstratensian from 1217; dissolved 16th c.
History
Bloemhof was founded by 1213, and formally affiliated with the Premonstratensian Order in 1217. It was badly affected during the Black Death, and frequent bouts of warfare in the later Middle Ages also damaged Bloemhof's economic stability. <br /><br />In the 13th century, the abbey kept a well-known chronicle, the <em>Cronica Floridi Horti, </em>which is an important source for regional history.<br /><br />Bloemhof was suppressed at the Reformation, and the former monastic complex was gradually demolished. The abbey church survived to the 19th century.

History
The priory of Boismont was founded in 1193 by Dreux de Meulan and Ade, lord and lady of Boismont, and Guillaume, a canon of Beauvais and brother of Dreux. It originally was a dependant house of Ressons; from the 14th century, it was a dependant house of the Premonstratensian abbey of Abbecourt. <br /><br />The community was suppressed in 1790, and its church is now the parish church.

History
Founded around 1250 by Rudolf I, count of Rapperschwyl, as a women's house affiliated with Rüti. Bollingen transferred to the Cistercian Order in 1267 and merged with the nearby abbey of Wurmsbach. <br /><br />The small chapel of St. Meinrad at Bollingen, which remained in the possession of the abbey of Rüti, may have served as the sisters' church.
