History
The priory at Lébisey was founded by Roger de Mazurier in 1291. It was dependent on the Premonstratensian abbey of Ardenne. Its chapel served as the burial place for the lords of Lébisey.
The priory was dissolved at the Revolution and passed into private hands. Most of the former priory complex was destroyed during World War Two.
