History

An abbey founded by the latest in 1165 by Guy de Garlande and Manassès de Seignelay, bishop of Orléans. Its endowment appears to have been insufficient to support its independent existence as a Premonstratensian abbey and in 1178 it became a priory of Augustinians.

Le Gué de l'Orme was ultimately suppressed in 1790.
