The abbey of Good Rest was based(established) in 1184 by Allain, viscount of Rohan, which installed(settled) cisterciens monks there. Ruins date the 13th and 14th centuries. Dependences(Outbuildings) and vestiges surrounding the abbey go back up(raise) to the 14th and 18th centuries. Of the old(former) abbey remain(subsist) only a pillar of the church and walls of the monastic buildings(ships), the rest having been destroyed after the sale of the abbey as very national in 1791, materials having been reused in reconstructions surroundings. The pillar belongs to the 13th century, but in the 18th century capitals(big tops) with foliages of small columns were replaced with doric capitals(big tops). A confession of 1686 shows that the convent consisted of a square cloister surrounded with buildings(ships), of which the chapel. In the 18th century, only the chapel of the 13th century was kept(preserved) during reconstruction, the rest was replaced with new buildings(ships).
