The Val Saint-Benoît, land that belonged to Gaultier, lord of Sully, will be given to the brothers of the priory of Val-Croissant (a religious order under the rule of Saint-Benoît) at the beginning of the 13th century.
The monks will be responsible for the management and maintenance of the land and will quickly build the church of Val-Saint-Benoît, a religious building in which Lord Gauthier will be buried in the year 1240.
His son Hugues, who later became canon of the cathedral of Autun, had a bas-relief made in the church of Val Saint-Benoît in honour of his father, depicting his funeral.
The priory will be inhabited by monks for several centuries then will fall into ruins after its abandonment in the seventeenth century...
Restorations will not be undertaken until the 1970s as part of the operation "Renaissance of the priory of Val Saint-Benoît" under the presidency of the Duchesse de Magenta.
In 1982 the Sisters of Bethlehem and the Assumption of the Virgin settled in the Val and created the Monastery of Our Lady of Adoration.
Today it is a community of 16 nuns who have lived and prayed there for several decades.
