The royal abbey of Épau is an ancient Cistercian abbey founded by Queen Bérengère of Navarre in 1229-1230. The abbey has nearly disappeared many times, both due to wars and financial problems that arose in modern times. It was saved by the General Council of Sarthe, which acquired it in 1959. It is part of the historical properties of the Sarthe department.
