The church at Dorengt was given to Prémontré ca. 1155. It seems to have housed sisters linked to Clairfontaine during the 13th century. It later became a priory, and remained as such until the Revolution.

The priory and its attached church (today the parish church of Dorengt) were rebuilt in the 1740s. The former monastic complex is now a farm.
