About Port-Royal Abbey
Port-Royal Abbey was an abbey in Paris that was a stronghold of Jansenism. Cistercian nuns moved from the older abbey, Port-Royal-des-Champs, founded in 1204, to Paris and founded Port-Royal-de-Paris in 1626. There were frequent controversies as the sisters struggled against authorities in the church and at court. Some of the sisters returned to the medieval convent. Until it was dissolved in 1709, the Parisian abbey was highly influential and often in the news. It is today the site of an urban hospital, the Hopitâl Cochin.
