Aiguebelle was founded in 1137, on the borders of Dauphiné and Provence, by the monks of Morimond, fourth daughter of Cîteaux founded in 1115 in Champagne. The monastery is built in an isolated valley, as the Cistercian tradition wanted, at the confluence of three streams, hence the name of "beautiful waters", Aiguebelle. In the 12th century, the monastery benefited from donations from neighboring lords and considerably increased its domain: it owned land up to the foot of Mont Gerbier-de-Jonc. From the XIV ° century, the tests will multiply: Hundred Years War, black plague, fall of vocations, especially of the lay brothers who maintained the barns and the grounds. Most possessions are leased. After 1515, the abbots were no longer elected by the monks but appointed by the king: they were the commendatory abbots, outside the monastery and who therefore did not always care about the needs of their monks or the fervor of their community. When the monks dispersed in 1791, there were only three. The monastery was then looted and sold as national property. Its distance from the roads will save it from demolition.
