Demolished or destroyed.
Silvacane Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery in La Roque-d'Anthéron, Provence, France, founded around 1144 as a daughter house of Morimond Abbey. Its structures, dating mainly from the late 12th and 13th centuries, are largely Romanesque with some Gothic elements. Its undecorated church interior is considered an outstanding example of 12th-century Cistercian architecture, and the abbey is one of the three Cistercian "sisters of Provence" alongside Sénanque and Le Thoronet.
