The abbey of the Tight is based(established) in 1140 at the request of bishop of Verdun Albéron of Chiny. The abbey is attached to the order of Prémontrés and takes the term of the Annunciation Notre-Dame in 1147\. The place, humid, asks for pipes and for creation of ponds on behalf of the community, where from the name abbey of the Tight. Up to date on the XVIIth century, the whole monastery is transformed but will undergo Swedish invasions. In the XVIIIth century, chapel and conventual buildings(ships) are rebuilt, such as visible(obvious) today.
Sold to revolutionary times(weathers), the abbey becomes farm, the cloister, barnyard.
