Founded around 1117 by monks from Cîteaux (1115 according to the Cistercian tradition), the abbey of Morimond quickly takes great importance by founding more than 200 abbeys-daughters, Of the four branches coming from Cîteaux, it is the most prolific after Clairvaux. She is head of filiation for almost all the abbeys of central and northern Europe, but she also has daughters in southern France, Italy and Spain. Through the military order of Calatrava, she participated in the Spanish «reconquista».
The abbey of Morimond possessed a land, agricultural and forestry, of more than 5000 hectares, located on the border of France and the Holy Roman Empire. Endowed from the twelfth century with twelve barns, it enlarged its possessions in the fourteenth century by three additional barns, from Belfays. It also had two centres of salt production at Scey-sur-Saône and Moyenvic, as well as an iron mine near Nancy. Urban houses completed his heritage, in Metz, Toul, Neufchâteau, Langres, Lamarche, D
